Hi everyone,
I’ve been watching this from afar and one thing and while I have to agree with
this:

I do have to say that more fine grained concurrency would really help speed up
builds without substitutes.
Especially on old hardware, some builds can actually exhaust all resources.
That means you can’t really get a speed up by bumping the max jobs.
What would help is doing downloads of sources and substitutes asynchronously
while a non-substitute job is taking place. If some network activity could be
backgrounded, I think you might find build times decrease a lot.
Thanks!
John
