Here's an example of it working with medium-sized programs: ... >>> Emerging (79 of 102) dev-util/gdbus-codegen-2.78.6::gentoo >>> Emerging (80 of 102) dev-util/glib-utils-2.78.6::gentoo >>> Emerging (81 of 102) sys-apps/sysvinit-3.11::gentoo >>> Emerging (82 of 102) net-misc/curl-8.10.1-r1::gentoo >>> Installing (80 of 102) dev-util/glib-utils-2.78.6::gentoo >>> Installing (79 of 102) dev-util/gdbus-codegen-2.78.6::gentoo >>> Completed (80 of 102) dev-util/glib-utils-2.78.6::gentoo >>> Completed (79 of 102) dev-util/gdbus-codegen-2.78.6::gentoo >>> Installing (81 of 102) sys-apps/sysvinit-3.11::gentoo >>> Completed (81 of 102) sys-apps/sysvinit-3.11::gentoo >>> Installing (82 of 102) net-misc/curl-8.10.1-r1::gentoo >>> Completed (82 of 102) net-misc/curl-8.10.1-r1::gentoo >>> Emerging (83 of 102) dev-libs/elfutils-0.192-r1::gentoo >>> Emerging (84 of 102) sys-devel/gcc-14.2.1_p20241026::gentoo >>> Jobs: 82 of 102 complete, 1 running, 1 merge wait Load avg: 17.1, >>> 11.2, 8.5 Better than load average 4, but nowhere near full capacity (-i24 -l30). -- Regards, Peter.
