I compile firefox nightly locally from an hg repository.  What I notice
is that although mozilla officially states that it is possible to limit
resource use, even though I set a maximum thread count, or maximum
load, the clang compiler grabs every core and maxes it out to 100%.
Will this change help with that?  i.e.  is this a clang problem?  Or is
my experience because of a problem with the firefox compilation process?
Thanks.
