I have noticed that some compiles (glibc for example) will use the system to the fullest. top reports %CPU near 0%. Other compiles, such as openoffice seem to use only half as much cpu time. For this top reported consistently near 50%. So I'm wondering if the openoffice compile used only one of the amd cores. Do some of the emerges ignore the MAKEOPTS setting? Or is this an upstream issue with the compile not using threads?
