  <!--   Both qmake and ninja will use all available cores, in fact ninja runs n+2
     jobs at a time.  Most of our readers do not have more than 4 cores.
     To reduce the number of available cores for measuring the build time:
     # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/online
     and repeat for each subsequent cpu.  Never do this for cpu0.
     You can cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/{online,offline} to check.
     To reinstate the cores after measuring, echo 1 to the same files. -->
