    please, PLEASE stop using "make -j"
    for anything except the fork-bomb that it is.
    pretending that it's a benchmark, especially one
    to guide kernel tuning, is a travesty!

    if you want to simulate VM load, so something sane like
    boot with mem=32M, or a simple "mmap(lots); mlockall" tool.
