parallel processing

[David]

I am using make under cygwin ( have been using it for a few months) and am
currently assisting our developers.
I am setting up builds using the 1.3.2 version and I'm trying to find out
if make under cygwin can do parallel processing. I saw a note on the
3.77.1 version of make that parallel processing code had been worked on.

I've tried make -j 2 for a 2 processor machine but the cpu utilization is
still down at 3-6%.
Has the code for parallel processing been tested for NT ? How does one
verify that it is working ?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
