Leverage Dual CPU's with GNU Make
This hint is not complete-- timkingman got to it first. The -j flag will help on single processor machines as well.
Leverage Dual CPU's with GNU Make
Very comprehensive, but I'd still add that it may all also depend on (a) version of make in use; (b) OS in use; (c) what is being compiled. On my FreeBSD machine, buildworld/buildkernel runs with -j10 (it is a dual Celery 466). Can't say it is x10 viz. no -j flag, but it is pretty fast. However, I never compile any ports with -j flag, as sources are really tailored well for parallel make. Pitty, since I would not mind recompile of KDE to take even 50% less than current c.a. 10 hours...
