Hi,

I'm running the regression test on my personal box (i5-3337U 1.8GHz running Windows 8/cygwin) before moving to a bigger one at work, and it has been working for 24 hours and has not finished yet. As Phil noted the fact that the regression test is using one core does not help. Is mono-core the expected policy ?

By default everything will run a single job at a time. You can pass the argument --bjam-options="-jN" to the run.py script. This will tell bjam to use N parallel jobs. This at least will parallelize the build process. Not sure if the running of the tests themselves will happen in parallel or not; maybe someone else can chime in. Jason
