At least in buildworld tests. doing a make -j4 vs -j6 make -j8 vs -j10 gives -j buildworld time % improvement over -j4 4 13:57 6 12:11 13% 8 11:32 18% 10 11:43 17% dmesg below of the hardware... The CPU seems to run fairly cool, but the board has a lot of nasty hot heatsinks eg. running 8 burnP6 procs 0[ns3c]# sysctl -a | grep temperature dev.cpu.0.temperature: 67 dev.cpu.1.temperature: 67 dev.cpu.2.temperature: 65 dev.cpu.3.temperature: 65 dev.cpu.4.temperature: 66 dev.cpu.5.temperature: 66 dev.cpu.6.temperature: 64 dev.cpu.7.temperature: 64 0[ns3c]# vs idle dev.cpu.0.temperature: 46 dev.cpu.1.temperature: 46 dev.cpu.2.temperature: 42 dev.cpu.3.temperature: 42 dev.cpu.4.temperature: 44 dev.cpu.5.temperature: 44 dev.cpu.6.temperature: 40 dev.cpu.7.temperature: 40 Copyright (c) 1992-2008 The FreeBSD Project.
