Indeed, please use something like this instead of limiting the build
for everyone.  My personal favourite way of doing this is with
something like this in mk.conf:

  PKG_MAKE_JOBS.lang/gcc7=	12
  PKG_MAKE_JOBS.net/samba=	2

  MAKE_JOBS_DEFAULT=		4

  MAKE_JOBS=			${PKG_MAKE_JOBS.${PKGPATH}:U${MAKE_JOBS_DEFAULT}}

Thanks,
