10 The portion that "updates metadata cache" has nothing to do with what
11 ebuilds are in the tree. It simply takes the server-side caches (
12 pregenerated ) and sync them into your local cache. You could RSYNC
13 exclude the whole tree and this will still happen for every package,
14 since the metadata is generated on the server ( and the server has the
15 whole tree ).

17 Now if you were to rsync exclude metadata/ you would reduce the
18 - --metadata portion...because it wouldn't happen ;)
