12465,"Suggest promoting -j to ""Important Options"" in help output",Phil Endecott,Vladimir Prus,"Currently ./b2 --help doesn't mention -j; one has to ./b2 --help-options, which is described as ""Print more obscure command line options"".

Almost everyone has multi-CPU system these days (even in their phones!).  Building Boost on one CPU would be a mistake.  Maybe Boost.Build should default to using multiple processors.  Failing that, the -jN option should be considered an ""important"" option and be mentioned more prominently.  Wanting to use multiple CPUs is not ""obscure"" any more.",Feature Requests,new,To Be Determined,build,Boost 1.61.0,Optimization,,,
