I have a server that have nproc=64. I'm building chromium with -j60 and I noticed that the load goes a lot over the server capacity like a load of 84 to 110 while, obviously, the server is not doing anything else. I observer that the load is going around 84 at the compilation line [7988/57663] I observer that the load is going around 110 at the compilation line [19113/57663] My guess is that while chromium has a limit of -j60, at some point it launches a subtask (like thirdy party software) that have themself a parallelizzation. I will attach the compressed log asap
`ps faux` when it's misbehaving and emerge --info too please.
fwiw I seen similar happen on qtwebengine:6 (esp. noticeable with ccache given it speeds through things and accumulate threads), I looked into it a fair deal but I never found the source of it. Pretty sure it's related to nodejs invocations though.

Created attachment 877657 [details] build log (first part) First part of the log (size was too much to get it attached)
Created attachment 877658 [details] build log (second part) Second part of the log (size was too much to get it attached)
Created attachment 877659 [details] emerge --info + ps faux ps faux was a bit stripped since there are other unrelated process, so this is 'ps aux | grep "^portage"'
(In reply to Agostino Sarubbo from comment #6) > Created attachment 877659 [details] > emerge --info + ps faux Note that it was taken when the load was over 105
