My only suggestion would be to use pkgcore instead of portage. It is |
| 13 |
compatible at configuration/data format level, so your script should |

work out of the box for Portage users. |

I'm not sure how much faster it will be. However, it will surely be |
| 17 |
more readable considering how horrible Portage API is. |
