Details are on buried that page, but it's "-j3" for the dual core /
dual CPU systems.

I found a nice graph of Wine's codebase size over time:

Looks like it's just about exactly doubled since that
last measurement in late 2002.

I suppose my e7200 is a budget performance system; a dual Xeon back then
was pretty special.  Probably have to compare it to something
heftier today?
