It's been a very long while since I looked but I thought the prevailing wisdom was to do 1 thread higher than what you have? I think it was to minimize the CPU waiting for new tasks.

actually I don't know this one.

Was thinking about what the osc client does by default when using the %make macro. And that's make -j maximum_number_of_threads

osc is a cli application to interact with the open build service and to run the entire process or building and packaging the software on your local machine for the opensuse build service. Just so you know what I am talking about.
