documentation: BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE suggestions
Text that suggests setting the BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE variables to speed build time has been updated to suggest a setting of twice the number of host cores supported. The 2x number came to light through a discussion on the project mailing list initiated by Robert P. J. Day. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

You should also be sure any other variables in which you are interested are set.

Some variables to consider are <filename>BB_NUMBER_THREADS</filename>
|
||||
and <filename>PARALLEL_MAKE</filename>, both of which can greatly reduce your build time
|
||||
if you are using a multi-threaded development system (e.g. values of
|

<filename>8</filename> and <filename>j 6</filename>, respectively are optimal
|
||||
for a development machine that has four available cores).</para></listitem>

if your development system supports multiple cores.
|

For development systems that support multiple cores, a good rule of thumb is to set
|
||||
both the <filename>BB_NUMBER_THREADS</filename> and <filename>PARALLEL_MAKE</filename>
|
||||
variables to twice the number of cores your system supports.</para></listitem>
|

<listitem><para>Update the <filename>bblayers.conf</filename> file so that it includes

the path to your new BSP layer.
|

In this example you need to include the pathname to <filename>meta-mymachine</filename>.
