Jordi,
my biggest complaint has become the incredible amounts of RAM that g++ uses.
On my MacBook which has 4GiB, I can run make -j 4, and although the machine has
only 2 cores it's still faster than make -j 2, because less time is spent in
iowait.
On my Mac Mini, however, which has the same CPU but only 2GiB this is just
impossible, because 4 g++ processes cause massive page thrashing.

I'm afraid you're right there ...
