Hello list,

We've had a few discussions here on how to balance the parameters to emerge 
to make the most of the resources available. Here's another idea:

One the one hand, big jobs should be able to use the maximum CPU 
performance and RAM capacity, but on the other we don't want to flood the 
system.

Therefore, I think it would be useful to be able to specify in env and 
package.env that a job should be run on its own - if any other emerge jobs are 
scheduled, wait until they're finished. Combine that with a specific MAKEOPTS, 
and we'd have a more flexible deployment of resouces.

Is this feasible? What have I not thought of?

Peter.
