Yes. -J5 is even better here. With -J4 moving windows arround or doing
other GUI intensive stuff was interactive for a short time (1-2
seconds?) - and then the programm lost all interactivity (with some
unniced gcc in the background ...). With -J5 all applications keep
smoth even with two rebuilds (unniced) of a distribution running!
