I'm sure it does suck under heavy load, although I suppose you could increase the start time. But I wonder if that is the problem this time? Modern machines are so damned fast they actually take real effort to load. Actually, "make -j4" doesn't sound particularly heavy. There's huge disk i/o in a make. Plenty of scheduling opportunities. Obviously I only know what everybody else here knows; but with so many recent posts suggesting a scheduling fault has been introduced, I'm expecting it to be that.
