I'm trying to work on it I hope you can report exactly what your issue is and
I'll try and address it. Do you really compile jobs make -j10 each time while
using your machine? (rhetoric question of course since there is absolutely no
advantage to doing that without lots of cpus). If not, how does it perform
under your real world conditions?

Um, slight ~objection.

What's the difference between one tester running a make -j10 and 10 students compiling their assignments in a multiuser box? I test throughput with make -j30 on a 128Mb 500Mhz PIII, because I know for a very very many times measured fact that the box can handle this (heavy but _not_ extreme) load. It's not the only load in the world, but it's such a dead simple load that the kernel dare not have difficulty with it IMHO.
