One of the major benefits of the build system is that, since each
recipe will typically spawn the execution of numerous tasks,
it is entirely possible that many tasks can execute in parallel,
either tasks from separate recipes or independent tasks within
the same recipe, potentially up to the parallelism of your
build system.
