[Nix-dev] build-cores, load limit and boinc

[Marc Weber]

Hi Lluís,

if your load is about 4, why bother? Isn't your cpu utilized well then?

You could hook into the make files instead. make is passing "tokens" to
submakes which signals that it may spawn a process. If a submake is done
it passes back the token. This way make controls load. Now you could
hook into make and make nix pass tokens to make..
However I have no idea about how much work this would be.

Of coucrse you can force by overwriting the make command line being
used, and you can force a different target load (greater than num
cores).
