But world- and kernel-related parts of "make release" can be built in parallel, here's a relevant excerpt from release/Makefile:
# If you want to pass flags to the world build such as -j X, use # WORLD_FLAGS. Similarly, you can specify make flags for kernel # builds via KERNEL_FLAGS. # Similarly, you can specify make flags for make readmes via PORTREADMES_FLAGS. #WORLD_FLAGS=-j4 #KERNEL_FLAGS=-j4 #PORTREADMES_FLAGS=-j4 The release(7) manpage mumbles something about that, but not too verbose.
