Well, what strange results. Desktop responsiveness is drastically
improved. On the other hand:
$ time (sudo emerge --sync)
[...]
real 10m3.185s
user 0m6.331s
sys 0m0.575s
This is with a Gentoo rsync server on the same LAN segment. A P4 box on
the same segment recorded about 65s for the same command - nearly 10
times as fast.
Did you use ionice in your make.conf to set portage to idle priority?
It can have such an effect, though I never experienced such dramatic
slowdown myself.
