[fpc-devel] building fpc / fpmake and multicore cpu ?

I noticed, when I build fpc, then I get cpu usage between 70% and 100%. 
So it appears that both cores of my pentium are used.

But when a package is compiled using fpmake, then it drops to 50%, so 
apparently only one core is used?

Is that correct? Does the old Makefile driven compilation use both/all 
cores, while packages done via fpmake, are using one core only?
