I recently rebuilt my FreeBSD system from sources and it took around 2 hours on an old PIII 800MHz pc to run "make buildworld". If I include the -j option to run multiple processes as once such as "make -j2 buildworld" does that mean it would finish in half the time? Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences with this? Thank you, Jose
