documentation/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.xml: multi-core update 

Added text suggesting that BB_NUMBER_THREADS be set to twice the number
of available processor cores and that PARALLEL_MAKE be set equal to the
number of processor cores.  Similar changes were made to local.conf
based on work by Josh.

(From yocto-docs rev: e342a4af4d3ba000b348bbb9d125977fc0e95273)

Take some time to examine your <filename>conf/local.conf</filename> file.
The defaults should work fine.
However, if you have a multi-core CPU you might want to set the variables
BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE to the number of processor cores on your build machine.
However, if you have a multi-core CPU you might want to set the variable
BB_NUMBER_THREADS equal to twice the number of processor cores your system has.
And, set the variable PARALLEL_MAKE equal to the number of processor cores.
Setting these variables can significantly shorten your build time.
By default, these variables are commented out.
