Hmm, odd. We compiled nethack on the B8 and the load average only
went up to 1.60 -- and there were 10 users or so online who didn't
even notice. (That was with a parallel make, by the way.) We did get
a 2.30 load average yesterday doing a parallel make of gcc and had
about 23 users online. (We do have 16 megs of memory and 6 CPU's.)
