Well... I put that into question. I don't have a 256 core system, but I 
have a quad Opteron 6376 system, 64 cores @ 2.4 GHz is quite a bit of 
compute power. Compiling kernel 3.3.2:

[root at node016 linux-3.3.2]# time make -j 64

...

real    1m54.823s
user    77m14.178s
sys     11m32.109s

To minutes to build a kernel is still fast though :)
