Innstall renice and you wont even Notice the building, as gcc's priority is set so low by renice.

That doesn't solve everything, though. A notebook user like me may find the CPU gets too hot when building with aggressive parallel options, and renice can't help.

makepkg.conf is imo the way to go, because things are up to the user, how hot he wants his builds to get. I also concur with auguste's opinion that PKGUBILD is not the place to make this kind (rather machine-dependent) setting. thanks for bringing this up btw, I used to add this stuff manually to the custom kernels' PKGBUILDs I use. cheers! mar77i
