Please don't assume everyone is running your latest and greatest PC |
| 13 |
hardware, or processors that measure in the GHz, regardless of |
| 14 |
architecture. We have officially supported architectures where a few |
| 15 |
seconds may be a generous statement of the delay (low end SPARC64 systems |
| 16 |
for instance). The initialization delay of portage is very much felt |
| 17 |
here, either via emerge or other tools like equery. |
