Huh, I thought compilation was already quite parallel even on many core machines. I guess that's only true for larger software projects (or ones with many small compilation units, at least). The step that could use some TLC and increased parallelism is linking.
On the other hand, maybe this project will help improve whole-program LTO link time. I see that is mentioned as future work for this effort:
> Parallelize IPA part. This can also improve the time during LTO compilations
Big kudos to Giuliano Belinassi, who seems to be the one driving this effort.
