Ahaa, well that was what I meant, with good makefile dependencies at least
GNU make can be instructed with "-j N" parameter to run max of "N" jobs at
the same time, but surely it has major advantage only if you have multiple
CPU cores/threads ... And it can be a problem if the dependency rules or the
logic of Makefiles aren't done corrently ... Btw, it was also a good way to
stress the machine with "-j 64" or so with a large project (like compiling
Linux kernel) it really helps to trigger hardware problems :) :)
