From: Denys Vlasenko on gitlab.com https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/2254#note_1249493515 We usually have 2000..4000 modules. With e.g. -n 1000, you obviously risk having fewer "xz" processes than CPUs. Even with -n 100, conceivably on a big machine, you can underutilize CPUs. OTOH, -n 1, you can spend more time starting a new xz process than compressing a module, if it's a small module. So yes, -n16 is an arbitrary choice, but there is logic why it should be somewhere in [10,100] range. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
