-jN works on Elisp files too.

Please note that some .el files take a while to build and they are a
dependency for a posterior build product, so it is possible that at some
time only one .el file is being compiled. Also, there are other products
that take a long time to build, so you could get the impression that the
build is working single-threaded.

But, for the most part, the build of the Elisp files is highly
parallized.
