| Hi,
| 
| I tried multiple times to build world, kernel or ports using
| "make -j2" or "make -j4". In most cases the results were useless,
| because make seems to run sequential steps parallel.
| 
| A "make -j2 install clean" in a port directory sometimes makes
| install and clean simultanous. This is the best way to reproduce
| it - buildworld takes to long on this system.

For ports, you're better off doing make MAKE_ARGS="-jN".. so it will
only run "make -jN" in the work source directory when building the
actual program.
