There is only one thread. Build8x is a VM on VMware workstation on  
Linux where current8x is a vSphere 4 VM, which has experimental  
support for Solaris 8 which ESX 3.5 didn't have. Unfortunately the  
idle detection doesn't work with #CPU > 1 on this environment where it  
does work on workstation. As I want to turn some boxes off I can offer  
to add current8x2, but that won't speed up your single build.

Best regards
