I timed a kernel compile with -j 20 to test the cost of the
you mean: make -j 2 MAKE="make -j 10"? Recursive make easily breaks its
-j option if -j is given a numeric parameter.
On modern versions of Gnu Make, "-j <n>" uses a "jobserver" facility to make
sure that the parent and all child make processes share the same pool of
up to <n> compilation tasks. It handles recursion properly nowadays.
