I have noticed the same when I pause a compilation, especially on big packages with a high number of make jobs. I always took this to mean the CPU thread pipes were full and until they are processed the pause instruction has to wait for its turn. Slower PCs take longer time and since I'm not running an RT kernel for emerge, I never thought of it as a bug. However, if more learned contributors can explain this as a bug, I'll be happy to learn something new. :-)
