-    <para>The Nix expression evaluator is now much faster in most
-    cases: typically, <link

-    to 8 times compared to the old implementation</link>.  It also

-      Support for configurable parallelism inside builders.  Build
-      scripts have always had the ability to perform multiple build
-      actions in parallel (for instance, by running <command>make -j
-      2</command>), but this was not desirable because the number of
-      actions to be performed in parallel was not configurable.  Nix
-      now has an option <option>--cores
-      <replaceable>N</replaceable></option> as well as a configuration
-      setting <varname>build-cores =
-      <replaceable>N</replaceable></varname> that causes the
-      environment variable <envar>NIX_BUILD_CORES</envar> to be set to
-      <replaceable>N</replaceable> when the builder is invoked.  The
-      builder can use this at its discretion to perform a parallel
-      build, e.g., by calling <command>make -j
-      <replaceable>N</replaceable></command>.  In Nixpkgs, this can be
-      enabled on a per-package basis by setting the derivation
-      attribute <varname>enableParallelBuilding</varname> to
-      <literal>true</literal>.
