Subject: [gentoo-user] Load average in make
Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2013 16:39:05 +0530	[thread overview]

Hi,

Make has two options which control number of jobs by load average.

--jobs and --load-average

Suppose I set make options as --jobs --load-average=1.7

It will spawn as many jobs as possible and limit system load to 1.7.

But which load average does that check? One minute, five minutes or fifteen
minutes?
