[Scons-users] Adding job pools to SCons

[Daniel Moody]

Curious other peoples interest or feedback about adding job pools to SCons?

Several other build systems use this idea, which is to group tasks together
so that a given group will only utilize a certain number of cpu
threads/cores out of the total number of threads/cores originally given to
the build. This can improve overall build speed by preventing long jobs
from bottle-necking dependencies, or organize jobs which don't run in
parallel well (like high IO) from running together.

Looking at the Jobs class, I think that class will map pretty well to this
concept.

I am preparing to write up a gtihub issue up for and wanted to get a census.
