"nice" runs the process at a lower priority (So it doesn't take over
the box), and "make -j2" tells make to use 2 threads for compiling.
Typically a machine can handle CPU-Cores*3 threads. And adding ccache
and distcc into the picture (With more computers, of course), you can
decrease your compile time considerably.
