Another option is to use the new dual-CPU Xeons with hyper threading. If I run
four compile jobs in parallel (scons -j 4 or bjam -j4) the factor compared to
compiling with a single CPU is about 3.8.

P.S.: Strangely, the machines are delivered with hyper threading disabled. Make
sure this option is turned on before trying -j 4.
