The scaling of the doc build should be fixed with https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/84 It currently gets 313% CPU time on my 4 core system. I'd be curious to hear how it scales for higher core counts. It parallelizes the all of the documents across all languages, so it should scale up to about 55 threads. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanw...@gmail.com - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
