I use -j5 (yeah, I know, I'm a masochist...) The ebuild forces -j1 but only for postinstall IIRC. > It's especially noticeable with it. > Some source files, especially at the beginning of the build, are very > short and result in a lot processes getting spawned and terminated very > fast, along with files rapidly created on disk.

I'm also running Windows XP under VirtualBox (2.1.0) with 512MB RAM+16MB video and I'm watching an AVI movie with mplayer. I have 2GB of RAM in this box BTW. > > I've checked my config and can't find anything wrong.
