Hi Bakul,
If I lacked job control in that situation, I'd either SIGSTOP one of the
two with kill(1) for a later SIGCONT or renice it to hardly get a look
in until its peer had finished. (The TTY's susp character for job
control is SIGTSTP.)

Cheers, Ralph.
There was no
job control on plan9 and I can't say I ever missed it.
Just yesterday I realized running two “make -j 8” in parallel was
making them both go real slow so I stopped one of them with ^Z and
continued it once the other make finished. This use case can’t be
handled with more windows.
