When I build C++ projects using make, I can specify how many 
processes I want to use (-j). This keeps the processors full and 
happy and greatly reduces the overall build time. Does DUB have a 
similar way of compiling each file in it's own process or thread?

There's the "--parallel" switch for that. Example

 dub build --build=release --parallel

It's in the documentation.

It currently is only implemented for "--build-mode singleFile", 
but this build mode is usually a lot slower than building each 
package at once. Implementing it for the latter mode is planned 
as well, but it should be noted that depending on the project 
this will require a lot of RAM.
