something that made me wonder...

earlier today i read about 'make -j' stuff from the smp list, and i
got the impression that for single cpu something like '-j 4' would
give some performance boost.

but, i experimented with it myself earlier today and it didnt boost
anything... the fastest compiling i got without any 'j's, i tested
'-j 2' and '-j 4'

uh, am i missing something? it's only pentium pro spesific? (i have pentium)

my other kernel flags are '-O2 -pipe'
