I have a dual processor machine sitting at a load of 1 during a "portupgrade -f gnome2". Are the Makefiles in the ports trees safe to use with -j 4 or -j 6 on a dual processor machine? I'm worried about how the dependencies are handled, etc.... If the make is a safe thing to do, is there a standard way to encourage portupgrade to take advantage of it? g.
