Description Alessandro Barbieri 2017-03-13 23:05:54 UTC

I found that when emerging pypy and pypy3 only one core is used, so will be a great thing if more cores can be used beacuse of the long emerge time of this two packages.

This is upstream limitation. The translation is a single-threaded process eating huge amounts of memory. The actual build is done in parallel.
