Hmm... I think task manager should be able to tell you how many threads btool is using. If it is using 2 threads, the process could in principle be IO bound. Also, you might try increasing the thread count (hyper threading and such might be playing tricks on you).
Good idea. With -j 2 task manager showed btool with 2 threads, -j 3 showed three. In neither case though did it actually do two compiles at the same time.
