I have not tried recently, but also experienced intermittent problems
using -j4, both with itk and vtk.  We removed the flag from our
dashboards because of this.

Regarding priority, I agree it's not gravely important, but know that
this problem prevents me (and perhaps others) from submitting more
dashboards.  This will be alleviated with ctest's new -j support, but
improving compilation performance would be very welcomed.
