Update: I've been using --max-jobs=2 by default for about 2 weeks now, and it feels like a much smoother experience overall: faster downloads, faster builds. This is obviously a very dumb "optimization" but at least it serves to underline that Guix could still do much better by parallelizing downloads and build in a smart way. I couple of ideas were mentioned in this thread: Anyone interested in working on them? :) -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/
