I don't understand the meaning of that "+1" (unless this is a way to concur
with another CPU-intensive process running simultaneously on the same box -
but then why not just SIGSTOP or renice it for awhile??). And, definitely,
parallelizing kernel make on a machine with only 16MB of RAM installed is a
bad idea anyway, no matter how many CPUs it has.
