Would all this work for 'make index' for the ports also? Or is this more io bound? I can't test this myself, because my laptop is to slow for making these tests any fun.
Based on my tests, 'make index' is only faster with -j on smp machines (the default is -j2, which only penalizes UP by a second or two, but nearly halves the build time on an smp machine).
But -j1 saves on mem usage on UP I presume, so it makes my workstation more useable while being 2 secs.faster.
Is this set by an INDEX_JOBS make var in /etc/make.conf? Found it in /usr/ports/Makefile.
