n is the default for quiet-build if --jobs is set to 1, or unspecified. But using a higher value will give you faster updates. The MAKEOPTS setting has no effect during the preparation and installation stages of an ebuild, and with --jobs=1 that means your CPU spends a lot of time idling. -- Neil Bothwick This is as bad as it can get - but don't bet on it.
