There is, it's "-j 2" as argument to build.sh.

The build.sh script does not automatically detect the number of
concurrent make processes to use.  First off, "-j 2" might not be
enough to fully utilize two CPUs; sometimes processes are idling
waiting for I/O, which could be used by a third job.  On the other
hand, overdoing the concurrency is going to be counter-productive.
Secondly, the script should not try to second-guess the user and
assume that he really wanted to hog all the available CPU resources,
so I think we're stuck with having to manually specify the make job
concurrency level.
