That's what takes the most time with an emerge sync on my 166MHz computer. |

It was discussed a while ago that the cache has changed maybe by 5%, but |
| 14 |
it does it all again. Parses some things, writes lots of files to cache, |
| 15 |
etc. There were ideas how to make it quick again, but unfortunately either |
| 16 |
no-one has brought it to reality or into the official portage. |
| 17 |
If that's not your speed problem, disregard this e-mail, but I believe |
| 18 |
this the most time demanding operation with emerge sync as of now. |
