Hi,

I'm new to this list put I have been using Gentoo for several years. 
Thank you for all the hard work you put into this beautiful distribution.
Since I'm behind a quite restrictive proxy at work, I have to frequently 
use emerge-webrsync.
I looked at the script today and thought that 2 things might make 
sense/be nice.

I put a "nice -n 19" in front of the tar, rsync and emerge metadata 
commands because normally calling emerge-webrsync renders my box 
unusable for 15 to 20 minutes. You still notice a difference when using 
"nice" but everything seems to be at least noticably smoother than before.

The other change is that you can call emerge-webrsync with the "-q" 
option to suppress the rsync output.

Please tell me what you think!

- Johannes.
