Hello All,
As Philip suggested adding more RAM helps
The system model name: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor w/16GB of RAM.
In 1 hour it ran 4391 of 8016 tasks or 54% This was a
core-image-sato-sdk-ex (my receipe) with gnuplot, gsl, boost,
qt-mobility-x11, java, and gnuradio.The full build  was taking close to 4
hours with 6 threads and 8GB of RAM.
Regards
