You can brew edit emacs-plus@28 and manually pin to specific revision.

Thanks @d12frosted . Also is it possible to add this feature with --with-native-comp ?

-j, --parallel COUNT             Compile using COUNT parallel processes (detected: 8)

Since you are making local edits, you can pass extra arguments. Though maybe this particular argument should be passed by default 🤔

+1 for this feature. I have i9 macbook pro and by default the build is taking ~25 mins. I would like to speed up that process and put the cores to good use.

I believe Homebrew already sets make to use as many jobs as your machine has CPU cores, by setting MAKEFLAGS.

For reference, search for HOMEBREW_MAKE_JOBS on this page, and check this issue from 2010: Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#3118

According to the above issue, if you run brew install --verbose <formula-name> you should see it setting MAKEFLAGS to include -j. Though I haven't tested it myself :)

Thanks @jimeh and @d12frosted . I am closing this issue. I think I got all the information I need.

@jimeh you are right. I totally forgot that it already supported by brew out of box. Thanks for reminding ❤️
