Linking is a single-threaded task it does not effectively utilize multicore processors. By changing
matrix_build.pyto instead create N projects which each will build a solution in parallel we can avoid the single-core linking bottleneck. This scales very well with the number of processors. Buildingmksgenlv21:Our current GitHub Actions workflow only runs on dual core machines (N=2), so the speedup is marginal (but tangible) but this prepares us well for if we want to run the build process on a more powerful CI.
