13 What is the first job?

15 Assuming that the system is set up to run parallel jobs, you have 71
16 updates. That's quite a lot. Maybe the first one is some really basic
17 package in @system upon which the other 70 depend (directly or
18 indirectly). Portage must complete the first fully in that case, then
19 proceed.
20
21 Or, that first job is portage itself. It makes sense that portage
22 updates should be done in isolation.
