As a remedy, you can try to use portage with pypy. I've used this setup for half a year and it works well. make.conf: PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_3 pypy2_0" /etc/portage/package.keywords: dev-python/pypy virtual/pypy /etc/portage/package.use: sys-apps/portage pypy2_0 /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask sys-apps/portage -python_targets_pypy2_0 -pypy2_0 I could give you figures for the performance improvement but they are probably not very helpful as I have 289 overlays active. That means portage regularly requires more than a Gig memory for dependency calculation. Downsides: - emerging pypy takes forever and uses a lot of memory - userfetch and userpriv don't work Regards, Florian Philipp
