How is that irrelevant? If the argument is that libjava takes too long to build on modern hardware, and someone else has a different view of what is modern hardware where the original argument is invalid... what makes your view "correct" and HJ's view "incorrect"? For comparison, I build with -j12 on an 8 core machine in 4 minutes.
