The problem was in dependencies between images, currently I have one project 
with 4 images that depends and packs like this

   /-> 2 -> 3
1-+
   \-> 4

What you're talking about is another problem and in another project that I'm 
converting now to OE I'll try to do something like

IMAGE_ROOTFS = "${TMPDIR}/rootfs.${PN}"

to have parallel image builds.
