Yes! Related tips:
- use wrappers that encode `Ncpus`, all `littler` ones do
- blog posts about this as even faster than parallel installs are installs that
- use `ccache`
- use binaries instead
- build once, eg in Docker, and reuse

Quick #rstats Tip: Use `Ncpus` when installing packages
🔹install.packages() has an Ncpus argument determining how many parallel processes to use
🔹This can e.g. speed up installation of {{tidyverse}} from ~11min to ~4.6min
🔹Also works with remotes & devtools install_ functions
