It is safer and runs just as fast. Dunno if it was a temporary compile problem, but I've actually found that: make -j 3 buildkernel hasn't worked properly for me. Either it was a temporary thing and may be fixed now, or it's a property of the buildkernel dependencies, and should probably be fixed (my kernel build is substantially faster with just a bit of parallelism to keep the CPU busy).
