I tell you, make -l is awesome magic; it sort of autobalances your obs process tree between "1 worker using 24 gccs" and "24 workers using 1 gcc each" roughly. Needless to say, this requires that one always looks at the *host's* load, so make -l out of the box is useless for VM builds ATM.
Cool magic, I didn't know it.
So that's why ARM builds take forever?
ARM is emulated. (At least I can't spot any arm-type workers in build.opensuse.org/monitor)
Exactly, so make -l only sees VM load, not host load. For all others, it should see host load since last I checked OBS worked on a chroot, not a VM for "native" builds. So when there are many arm jobs on a host, the host slows to a crawl.
