The obvious benefit is that it takes a lot less time to go through the package list as it is generally shorter when the interval between runs is shorter. I have a weekly cron job that runs python-updater, revdep-rebuild, eix-test-obsolete, emerge -c, emaint -c all, glsa-check etc, all with -p, and mails me the output. Then I can browse the results at my leisure. -- Neil Bothwick Ultimate memory manager; Windows, it manages to use it all..
