I'm not sure I follow what scenario is happening to make it so slow. 4 minutes isn't great, but its far shy of 30 minutes. I have only spinning rust, only 8G of ram, and I had firefox eating 100% cpu(optimus--) while I did this, and I don't exactly have the fastest CPU ( frequent overheating problems trigger thermal throttling ) To suggest its a nightmare for all users seems a stretch given that. It could be better, but everything can always be better. time emerge --version Portage 2.2.10 (default/linux/amd64/13.0, gcc-4.8.3, glibc-2.19-r1, 3.15.2-aufs x86_64) real 0m4.072s user 0m3.347s sys 0m0.545s find /var/db/pkg/ -name "DEPEND" | wc -l 1941 wc -l /var/lib/portage/world 339 /var/lib/portage/world time schedtool -D -n 20 -e ionice -c 3 emerge -uvtDN --pretend @world real 4m20.247s user 4m1.973s sys 0m14.507s -- Kent *KENTNL* - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
