Does mk ever parallel-ize? With make you have the -j# option, does mk have a
similar feature? Skimming through the man page I don't see anything.

I guess the simple answer is that mk _always_ parallelizes.

from the man page:

"The environment variable $NPROC determines how many targets may be
updated simultaneously; Some operating systems, e.g., Plan 9, set
$NPROC automatically to the number of CPUs on the current machine."
