they say that the -j option should be the double of your cpu cores.
can you please confirm if this information is true?
In LFS book, they said that the -j number should be the number of cores of your CPU.

In gentoo handbook they say that it should one unit should be 2GB of ram, so for example if you have 4GB of ram, you should set -j2, for 8GB, -j4 and so on.
