This isn't to do with parallel building of perl packages (I very much doubt that any of them are even marked with the DPB_PROPERTIES tag to allow parallel build).. it's to do with increased churn of installed packages which then result in the machine being locked for pkg_* operations more frequently (as junking occurs, etc).
