[yocto] can there be a entire (sub)section on build parallelism?

  currently, in the YP ref manual, there's a section on "speeding up
the build":

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#speeding-up-the-build

first part discussing the variables related to parallelism, but that
bit is not really complete.

  it discusses those three variables, but makes no mention of when one
might want to tweak one rather than the other, or how they're related.
it also doesn't mention the related PARALLEL_MAKEINST variable, or why
one might want to set

PARALLEL_MAKE = ""

in a particular recipe.

  what are the chances of expanding a section to explain exclusively
the variables related to parallelism, and when they should (and should
not) be tweaked?
