6 Er. Well. Sorry about that, here are corrected figures:
7 54 seconds -> 16 seconds == 3.3x improvement.
8 Therefore:
9 17 configure scripts (before splitting ebuilds) --> 20-60 minutes total
10 running time
11 splitting up --> >=220 packages (? but at least that many, I believe)
12 splitting up without confcache --> 220-660 minutes, i.e. 3.6-11 hours, total
13 running time (clearly unacceptable)
14 splitting up with confcache --> about 25-30% of above, i.e. 1-3.3 hours total
15 running time
16
17 According to these numbers, if we both add confcache and split the ebuilds,
18 the total time for emerging all or nearly all of kde will increase by 0.6-2.3
19 hours.
