New comment by ahesford on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/40331#issuecomment-1317150032 Comment: Compilation is I/O bound, which is why the usual recommendation is to use twice as many processes as you have CPUs. There's no need to try to get clever setting this. You can always override the parallelism if you find it too intensive, just as you have to override it now to get any parallelism.
