No need to. I was just wondering whether something was seriously wrong, but
factor 2 for -j2 is still in the expected range, I suppose. This was
KDEBUG=0 installation?

At least older models don't support those. No idea whether they've added it
in newer ones. Though I suspect they wouldn't have done that, since they
have their own instructions (syscall/sysret), which are quite similar. You
should find a "initial_commpage_syscall():..." line in the syslog, telling
you what mechanism the kernel has decided to use.
