The rust compiler is multi-threaded so 1 process can use all the cores 
of the system all on its own. However if you have got the resources to 
handle it its still quite a lot faster to build rust with MAKE_JOBS set 
to a value >1

Thankfully my build machine has the RAM to cope but given the average 
size of a rustc process it would be easy to see how it could eat all the 
system RAM and swap.
