#21214 Pex build parallelism Issue created by x0f0 Pants builds pex' in parallel, but the pex tool itself also defaults to 10 jobs parallelism. This seems to make my system unresponsive while not contributing much to build time speed-up. Would it be possible to set the

-j

option to a value that takes into account pant's parallelism and/or make the option configurable?

-j JOBS, --jobs JOBS  The maximum number of parallel jobs to use when
                        resolving, building and installing distributions. You
                        might want to increase the maximum number of parallel
                        jobs to potentially improve the latency of the pex
                        creation process at the expense of other processes on
                        your system. (default: 10)
