Does `go build` use multiple core's?

  There's a flag for it, which didn't make a difference (edit - with the new 1.7 compiler it does, but it goes from half that speed to the same figure). Even with a perfect scaling, I'd be about 10x behind a post from 7 years ago. Perhaps it's compiling a lot more lines than I think? Lots of bits of the standard library I should be including in the line count?

    actually I guess stdlib is compiled, too. But golang before 1.5 was faster to compile. I just wonder how much difference it would make with multicore's. I mean scala beats down my new Xeon E5-2670 workstation on all threads.
