The code seems like a reasonable approach. Love to see numbers and test scenarios so that others can tell if you've covered their use case. -j 100 is different from -j 4. People can help chip in numbers, if they have senarios that are less represented. I don't usually share or use -l, so I don't think I can help test it. I do wonder if it might be better to use a higher -j (I use -j somewhere between 24 and 50) and use a load limit, even in my situation. The only concern would be that of portability. Seems reasonable to let it in and fix up any issues found after the fact. I like how you ensure low impact when -l isn't used. Minor nit, tollerance -> tolerance.
