@whitequark @regehr oh yeah it's a super tricky problem, especially when your build invokes another build system. I kinda put all these problems into the same bucket, akin to https://pvk.ca/Blog/2019/02/25/the-unscalable-thread-pool/
And they're all similar in that managing oversubscription is the operator's concern.

@dotstdy @regehr ninja now uses/provides a make jobserver endpoint which makes this problem a little less bad, but yeah I agree in general the situation is extremely bad
