Excellent.  This is great news.  I also posted a slightly newer alpha5 tarball
tonight here http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/was/sage2.7.1/, and
build-tested it on 32-bit debian, 64-bit debian, 32-bit fedora, 32-bit mandriva,
OSX PowerPC, and OS X intel, and it built fine on all, and most doctests pass.
(A few doctest failed, since I upgrade pari to the latest stable
version, but neglected
to include the Galois groups database in the upgraded package.)  So I think
we've succeeded at creating an easy-to-distribute and build scipy.

Interesting. At what point (or points) in the make processes does this occur?
Building each spkg is a separate event, so it should be the case that
the process
usage should depend entirely on which package you're building.  Maybe there
is one particularly strange package that tries to build using lots of processes
at once?

Thanks.  The failures are fine and I've subsequently fixed them.  They had
to do with some interesting new code that Christian Wuthrich wrote for doing
computations involving the p-adic BSD conjecture.

I've noticed that sort of performance difference for many years;
it's why I didn't like Macs until last year when Apple switched
from PowerPC to Intel.  Now I really really like Macs.

Yes, and understood.
