5 no, the compile times are the same with locale-gen as with USE=userlocales ...
6 it's simply a different way of doing it

14 this is because your /etc/locales.gen isnt configured thus the default is to
15 generate *all* locales
16
17 but the thing now is, once you edit the config file, you just run `locale-gen`
18 rather than wait another hour for `emerge glibc`

23 it's a bug in the locale files, these are not new errors ... you just never
24 noticed them before because they were lost in the emerge output
