`guix pull` usually doesn't build any packages, but sometimes it does
need to. My (limited) understanding is that it sometimes needs to build
(or download) updated dependencies of Guix itself.

Do you think the number of "Tasks" would increase with more cores? I
only have 4 cores on my machines. Maybe if you had more, the builders
spawned by your guix-daemon would run more tasks as a consequence of
using all the cores.

I think there are other Guix people on Debian testing. I wonder if they
will hit this issue, too.
