Leave the nice on, this will help your scheduling a bit better.

Not sure of the top of my head which option you need to change, it's  
either "parallel build jobs" or something similar to that.
One of them you can only choose 1-2, the other one has 1-10 or  
something like that (doing it out of memory). Change the one with the  
more options.
As a rule of thumb, use a number +1 or +2 of the total number of CPU  
cores in the machine. (I really got to disable the other selection....)
Lot's of RAM makes a big difference and if you got spare HDDs, use striping.

When you compile the 1.4, use a "make makefile" after the "make  
mrproper unpack prepare", this will enable the parallel build.
