Addendum: And this is hardly something you need big Bertha for.

On my ancient Lenovo W520 with a i7-2720QM, the equvalent you easily find on
ebay for around 400EUR[1]:

make check                 : 4m36.399s
make check PARALLELISM=9999: 3m 9.598s

for comparison:

find instdir/ -name '*lo.so'|xargs rm; time make:
                             2m35.287s

Best,

Bjoern
