We use a 16 way for MIPS builds. For packages that parallelise it's brilliant. For small packages or those oh so icky packages that force -j1, things aren't so shiny... Still, there aren't any particular problems running Gentoo on SMP systems. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (King of all Londinium) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
