It's a challange but won't solve the problem: On fast processors
portage's speed is not so much a big issue. Moreover, the factor
you can obtain this way is in the (unrealistic) best case at most
the number of cores. Realistically, on a dual core perhaps the
factor 1.3 (and at the price of blocking parallel running applications
correspondingly more).
