Hey,
I just translated SVN trunk of PyPy with JIT enabled and I was very pleased by the results as I noticed that PyPy with JIT is now two times faster in Pystone (I know that's not saying too much) than Cpython. However, translating took a very long time due to not being able to make use of my other CPU cores. I did not find a switch to compile using multiple shells (as in -jN) so I was wondering whether such a feature was planned or even possible. At least for the compilation part, this should be very possible.
No, that's not planned at the moment. The only time we could easily use multiple CPU at the moment is compiling the final C sources. You can even do this manually with the make file in the temp source directory. -- Regards, Benjamin
