This may be, but it's out of date. I tried hacking bsd.subdir.mk so that it would add the -j makes at the lowest level subdirs, and it died due to inadequate dependency specifications. I figure it will take several iterations to get it right, and I don't have the time until sometime next week at the earliest to play with it. I was disappointed, because I wanted to see just how fast a make world is on a dual CPU PPro-200. As it stands now, there's a lot of idle time on my machine which is currently running make world.
