+                 This adds a -jX option to certain packages that are known to
+                 behave well for parallel build.
+
+                 Note that this may overcommit CPU resources depending on the
+                 -j level of the main make process, the number of package
+                 submake jobs selected below and the number of actual CPUs present.
+                 Example: If the main make is passed a -j4 and the submake -j
+                 is also set to 4, we may end up with 16 parallel make processes
+                 in the worst case.
+
+                 You get maximum build performance, if you set the package build
+                 jobs to the number of CPUs (cores) available and also start the main
+                 make process with -jX, where X is the number of CPUs (cores).
+                 However, make sure you have enough RAM available for
+                 NR_CPUS to the power of two (NR_CPUS^2) make jobs.
+
+                 If you are unsure, select N.

+                 WARNING: This may break build or kill your cat, as it builds
+                 packages with multiple jobs that are probably not tested in
+                 a parallel build environment.
+
+                 Say N. Only say Y for testing.
