Update: I've been using --max-jobs=3D2 by default for about 2 weeks now,
and it feels like a much smoother experience overall: faster downloads, fas=
ter
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? :)
