The bottom line will change while building, showing the progress as
`[finished/total]` build steps. This is useful output that `make` does not
produce and is one of the benefits of using Ninja. Also, Ninja will likely
compile much faster than even `make -j4` (or
`-j<number of processor threads on your machine>`). You can still pass the
number of processes to run for [Ninja][] using the environment variable `JOBS`.
This will be the equivalent to the `-j` parameter in the regular `make`:
produce and is one of the benefits of using Ninja. When using Ninja, builds
are always run in parallel, based by default on the number of CPUs your
system has. You can use the `-j` parameter to override this behavior,
which is equivalent to the `-j` parameter in the regular `make`:

```bash
JOBS=12 make
make -j4 # With this flag, Ninja will limit itself to 4 parallel jobs,
# regardless of the number of cores on the current machine.
```
