Users on dual-core and similar high-end machines may want to take advantage of existing CPU capabilities. This can either be done via the MAKEOPTS option or by modifying the simple ColorMake script.

At

 makecmd=

Edit the line to i.e.:

 makecmd='/bin/make -j5'

About the -j5 part, the rule of thumb is that the number after -j should equal the number of your cores +1: on a typical dual-core machine, the number would be 3.
