That depends on how long the build takes. For my 20 minute builds it was about
2 minutes faster. At the time, -j didn’t really effect build times once you got north
of 4 because parallelism really sucked. Now it doesn’t suck and it scales much
better and I suspect that the time savings would be tiny because it would be done
at the same time as other things anyway, but I’ve not measured it directly.

Yea, and that file generation is a pita, or I’d have committed my
changes a while ago...

Yea, this isn’t a problem worth solving today.
