This isn#t good for desktop interatctivey. It is *irrelevant* for desktop interactivity -- unless you define running "make -j" a typical desktop usecase. Which it isn't.
Just stop bringing about the word "desktop" here. It has no point in this discussion.

No you don't. Because that is not a desktop use case.
