Hi Len, yes, that is the point, I wanted to know. I suppose, higher than "-j 4" will let the system make too slow. Just another last: Are the entries in /etc/apt/apt-build.conf used by any(!) compiler applications, which are debian based ? I am thinking especially of commands like "make-kpkg", ncurses tools like "module-assistant" and dpkg related things, which are executed during upgrading of packages.
