in the common case (project with many small files, much more than
core count) i'd expect a regression:

if gcc itself tries to parallelize that introduces inter thread
synchronization and potential false sharing in gcc (e.g. malloc
locks) that does not exist with make parallelism (glibc can avoid
some atomic instructions when a process is single threaded).
