Hi everyone, I’ve been watching this from afar and one thing and while I have to agree with this:

Especially on old hardware, some builds can actually exhaust all resources. That means you can’t really get a speed up by bumping the max jobs. What would help is doing downloads of sources and substitutes asynchronously while a non-substitute job is taking place. If some network activity could be backgrounded, I think you might find build times decrease a lot. Thanks! John
