I think we should do both: the lilypond runs in lp-book should be protected by some sort of lock, and we should use both CPU_COUNT=M and -jN. then worst case, you have M lilypond processes and N-1 other jobs. BTW, you run at -j8 with only 4 CPUs, right? If you have an SSD drive, this is probably doesn't bring benefits, as there is no I/O delay any more that you can paper over with CPU bound tasks. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanw...@gmail.com - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
