I think that it's not only a performance tweak, but this should be considered as
a bug since it would be failed to build on powerful machine, which isn't good
for oe-core's user experience.

I managed to bring down a powerful machine just yesterday by building webkit and llvm together at the same time. They together ate all the RAM, and someone in the office had to go and reset the box.

Do I see it as a bug? Absolutely not: it's in fact my fault for not ensuring system resource consumption doesn't overwhelm the machine. This is the same: if you do not have RAM to match the cores on your specific rig, add RAM or limit the threads.
