I was afraid of this :/.
I did some quick tests, and I got non-significant results. I tried building a
kernel with different make -j parameters, and there was like a few seconds of
difference, and not always in favour of the same version.

I find it strange that you get such horrible results...
Maybe I was completely wrong with my assumption that one running process
always has an impact of 1, which would have make the scheduler underestimate
the load on one cpu and put too many processes on it, without moving them
afterward.
