But that's what this patch basically does: it splits possibly very
long ${.ALLSRC} list into pieces.  It's very inefficient only in
traditional mode.  Run this with and without -j1 to see the diff:

: COUNT!=	jot 1000
: 
: all:
: .for foo in ${COUNT}
: 	@echo $$$$ >/dev/null
: .endfor

Yes, because -V is meaningless with local variables.

Yeah.
