Mikes -j5 workload is AFAIAC, a very realistic workload for building a
kernel. My own script I just discovered was using -j8, and that was
noticeable, but by no means a killing hit on my poor old Xp2800 Athlon.
I pulled it back to 4 for this mornings build and the hit, while less, is
still noticeable. Killer hit? No way. Using Mike's v4 patch I think it
was called.
