Compile *nix programs faster multi-core Macs
Authored by: eile on May 25, '07 09:17:42AM

It works quite well - for the software I am developing it gives about 70% speedup on a dual-core machine. It could be better, but I have some serial portions and dependencies in my build. As others said, submit more jobs than CPU's (I use 2x), since the compiler is often waiting on IO. Using more than 2xnCore processes does not make sense.
