For what is worth, I have rerun the test with less jobs: Two run with -j6: real 3m12.199s user 12m47.617s sys 5m30.896s real 3m11.469s user 12m44.292s sys 5m29.944s One run with one job: real 14m21.460s user 10m18.034s sys 3m56.646s As predicted, the system overhead come down dramatically with less jobs. I think that sparse is the one with NR=29.
