>Description:

When running in parallel, make doesn't know about processor cache
affinity; when there's something to run, it always picks the next
available worker regardless of context.

This probably doesn't matter that much for the average build (as
compiles don't have that much shared state) but it can matter a lot if
you're using make for parallel data processing. As that's not
uncommon, it's an issue that make should take some account of.
