And some performance numbers for you.  First, the baseline run:

/--------
| real    14m57.309s
| user    16m40.606s
| sys     0m9.813s
\--------

Then with --max-jobs:

/--------
| real    6m54.229s
| user    18m14.016s
| sys     0m13.125s
\--------

This is on an Intel Q6600 (a Core2 Quad) @ 2.4GHz with 6GB of RAM.
