How would I know ? But yes for me.

In fact x > total threads in processor is also a good x: due to the
large I/O on spinning disk a compilation requires, a perfect match is
full of wait. (with N the number of threads supported by the
processor(s), N <= x <= 2*N )

When using SSD, that might be a different story.
