I think that yes, it is the task. There are other methods instead of checking directly swap: check if your own program is hitting swap, perhaps. If it is, the advantage of launching more threads is lost.
We're going way OT, so just a final comment - I definitely don't think any of that is a job for make nor any other utility that can do stuff in parallel. It is the responsibility of the system to try to load the system optimally.
Absolutely. However, IMO, if make has an option to launch, say, 64 threads, it should also have another to choose automatically the best number of thread, for maximum load or for maximum overall performance. Once they start doing something do it thoroughly well. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
