Invalid assumption(s). This is more a user list topic or personal wiki/
google research project, but there are at least four levels at which that
is a likely invalid assumption on a well configured Gentoo Linux
installation on modern hardware, particularly one where the user is not
setting MAKEOPTS=1, thus indicating that he has and wants to use
sufficient resources for parallel jobs in the first place.
If you like, mail me offlist and we can continue the discussion, as it
really is off topic for the gentoo-dev list.
