Bia,
Speed gains are made by utilising CPU idle time, while the CPU waits for something else to happen.
You will find that the speed increases until your get to the point where make jobs begin to dispace each other from the CPU cache, so that the cache content has br be fetched from much lower main memory.
The CPU won't be burned up unless the cooling system is faulty.
Even then, modern CPUs reduce the clock speed to avoid damage when the cooling system is faulty.
If you install and configure lm-sensors, you can monitor your CPU tempreture whike you tune your make.conf.. _________________ Regards,
