Well, I'd suggest just to hardcode a reasonable value to be a good net citizen, and not make it configurable. Four, perhaps?

OTOH, we may want to have an option to disable parallel from the command line (I think -r 1 would mean that with yours).

If we really want to have the number of parallel configurable, and -r implies recursive as you say, maybe '-j' to mimic parallel make?
