Also, check on the gentoo wiki for the use flag how-to that explains what they are all for. Honestly you don't need that many use flags. The problem for you now is that you have you system built, which means you may have a large number of unnecessary addons to many packages, also you may have complete packages which are not needed. IMHO, depending on how far along your system build is, it might be easier to re-install the system then to trim down a  huge number of use flags.
