Three companies I worked at have routinely used
-j 2*number of CPUs, even on shared machines
(some of which had 15 CPUs).
If the -l (max load average) option works as
advertised, perhaps -j without arguments should
imply -l number-of-cpus? That seems like it
would maximize an individual's
throughput while also adaptively dividing
up a shared build machine.
I have never tried -l, though.
