Not really, because if you have set -pipe in CFLAGS than you can easily, with top, check how the cpus are used. But that's it, of course. How I mentioned earlier with version 2.3.x I had set WANT_MP=true and MAKEOPTS=-j2 (and with my first builds -j4 and -j5 but that was pretty much useless, because the processes are hinder them self but they don't break the build) and that works for me.

I can only repeat that this doesn't apply to me and I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one who don't use the bin-pkg. Although I conduct all emerges at the console _not_ in X. Perhaps that's it. However, every user should do how he/she likes. W. Canis
