There is some special ninja handling of MAKEOPTS / -l / -j in this ebuild, can you try without any -l param in your MAKEOPTS and see if the load goes up to ~8 as expected?

I tried that but it does not even seem to go to configure or building it seems to be stuck at fetching the source.
It's a very large download. Why don't you either disable quiet-build, or tail /var/log/emerge-fetch.log , to see what's going on?

I doubt its so large that it takes nearly 5 hours... in fact it already downloaded the file... * electron-1.3.13.tar.gz size ;-) ... [ ok ] but the emerge hangs and i have to press ctrl+c and it will give "fetch failed for electron". build log is completely empty (besides the fetch failed error). No problem with other packages...
Please foreground it so we can see what it's actually working on
(In reply to Ben Kohler from comment #5) > Please foreground it so we can see what it's actually working on Actually a process was fetching the chromium tar so in the fetch log it said the file was locked by another process... so it was waiting forever as the process was sleeping or whatever. Never happened to me before. Sorry for wasting your time :/
tested with $ cd /usr/portage/dev-util/electron/ $ ebuild electron-1.3.13-r1.ebuild fetch Length: 458110272 (437M) [application/octet-stream] Saving to: ‘/usr/portage/distfiles/chromium-52.0.2743.82.tar.xz’ Length: 4560040 (4.3M) [application/octet-stream] Saving to: ‘/usr/portage/distfiles/electron-1.3.13.tar.gz’ works here.
