It's built a bunch of things, seeming to be doing ok, but I'm seeing:

 [ 0:   8m 42s ] cmake-4.4.3 (build -j4)
 [ 1:    5m 8s ] erlang-27.3.4.7 (build -j4)
 [ 2:   8m 52s ] icu-78.3 (build -j4)
 [ 3:  22m 21s ] gettext-tools-1.0 (build -j3)

which is 15, not 6.  Not a real problem, but not what I asked for.

Yeh, the scheduling algorithm in 1.0.0 is sub-optimal in a few different scenarios, and can end up with significant over-subscription at times during a build.

I have improved it a lot in trunk after a lot of careful tuning on my 72-core host, and am hoping to get 1.1.0 out soon, but have been busy with a few other things.
