I noticed that "-j4" option to run parallel compilation did not seem to take effect during the local compilation of 24.4.0/comm-esr source files.
I am using customized mozconfig, but almost the same mozconfig (except for the OBJECT directory location) is used for compiling the current comm-central and I see parallel compilation then. It may be a well known issue, but if not, it may be worth a look. Given that the current comm-esr seems to honor "-j4", it may not be a big deal in the long run. OTOH, if earlier comm-esr trees of other version (maybe the next ESR?) does not honor "-jN" flag, and many compilation takes place to test these versions every day(?), then we may be wasting wall time (on a multi-core computer) inside mozilla compilation farm. Of course, if we compile such a version maybe just once every day, again it may not be a big deal. This was observed under linux 64-bit.
