a definitive answer, Paul, thanks very much!

and you're surely right that single-threading the compilations will work
around this, but running 10 at a time is quite a bit (unmeasured) faster

Now if I can come up with a way to look in the other jobs' temp domains,
not! hmmm.

Thanks again; nice tool that Glance.
