More to do yet though. The merge-wait idea works well with humongous packages like nodejs and the web engines, but it's too cautious with ordinary ones. I've been building (too many) new systems over the last fortnight, and when there are, say, a hundred packages to compile, the load steadies out at about 4, with several more in merge-wait. This is with i24 l30 in make.conf. Just a bit of tuning, then... -- Regards, Peter.
