Sadly, not the case. See, ./configure doesn't parallelise *at all*, and
some packages either override make to not run in parallel (because the
ebuild maintainer is too lazy to fix buggy upstream makefiles) or
because the source files have lots of dependencies. So, it depends
pretty much entirely upon the package as to how SMP affects it.
