My build machine is a dual core laptop with 1Gb of ram, so perhaps I'll stick to 'make' with no extra threads. :) Thanks for the confirmation.

You'll get away with at most n+1 threads, where n is the number of CPU cores you have. And you'll want a gig of ram for each thread. So if you have a dual-core machine with at least 2GB of RAM -j2 will do fine. The -j4 assumes a quad-core 4GB machine in my opinion, which speaks to Google's development environment perhaps.
