make dep;make clean; make MAKE='make -j 2' -j 2 bzImage
to make my kernel on my dual Pentium II.
The number after the j is the number of concurrent jobs make uses. You can
increase that to 3 to make sure you don't waste any valuable time to silly
things like make finishing with one file and moving to the next ;-).
Hope that helps,
Tarun
