Currently all dependencies are built using single CPU core for each dependency. Presumably the previous idea was that parallelization comes from AliceVision itself being built in parallel so even if each dependency uses just a single CPU core, the dependencies themselves are built in parallel and the impact is not that large. However, ability to run compilation within each dependency in parallel is still useful, especially when the build machine has a large number of cores, or distributed compilation is used.

By default the old behavior of just a single job is used.
