Tip for new contributors, testers or users: "MAKEOPTS=”-j${core} +1″ is NOT the best optimization" about cmlfs HOT 5 OPEN

The way I look at it, each job thread should be assigned per cpu thread. An extra job thread on a CPU thread would be cumbersome and likely slow down the overall compilation.

Hopefully I'm using the correct terminology. There are some CPU's that have 1 thread for every CPU core and others may have 2 threads instead. My i3-3220 CPU is dual core but has a total of 4 threads. So, I build with -j4.

Also, I've test building a package with realtime (RT) priorities, the results is bad.

Thanks for the heads up. I will consider it when I start Optimux-C (optimized CMLFS)

Sure, it's overload.

And, for some reasons e.g doing multitask, consider to set the load average. The value same as core/thread.
