Not sure about what you mean with "blah blah". But given the amount of both disk caches (metadata, vdb cache) and memory caches (the in-memory aux_db cache that portage loads using pickle (it's a dict) takes like 70-100Mb of RAM on an average desktop system), Portage can still take *minutes* to calculate the merge queue of a pkg with all its deps satisfied. Ironically, launching the same emerge command twice, will take more or less the same time. Yeah, this is probably bad design... -- Fabio Erculiani
