For improving CPU usage, we need set the --jobs to n*core which will trigger a limit of 200.

distcc/src/dopt.c

Lines 311 to 316 in fae8362

	case 'j':
	if (arg_max_jobs < 1 || arg_max_jobs > 200) {
	rs_log_error("--jobs argument must be between 1 and 200");
	exitcode = EXIT_BAD_ARGUMENTS;
	goto out_exit;
	}

Could this check be removed?
