Version

Operating system type + version

Ubuntu 16.04.2

Behavior

Compilation takes longer than necessary: Only one core is being used in the compilation process. I'm using the documented procedure for Linux.
If the build step was "make" then I'd tag on "-j 5" to try to keep my four cores active. (the fifth job uses the CPU when one of the others needs to go to the disk). From how my system is behaving, I expect a 4 fold increase in speed from the -j 5...

:-(
I see a Cmake file. That normally means that makefiles are generated. Right?

If you want to help, start porting more of the UI to C++ via the xsgui branch.
