Hello list,
We've had a few discussions here on how to balance the parameters to emerge
to make the most of the resources available. Here's another idea:
One the one hand, big jobs should be able to use the maximum CPU
performance and RAM capacity, but on the other we don't want to flood the
system.
Therefore, I think it would be useful to be able to specify in env and
package.env that a job should be run on its own - if any other emerge jobs are
scheduled, wait until they're finished. Combine that with a specific MAKEOPTS,
and we'd have a more flexible deployment of resouces.
Is this feasible? What have I not thought of?

Peter.
