in the general case, dash will typically parse faster than bash. but is this |

speed gain relevant ? if dash can parse an ebuild in 10% of the time that it |

takes bash, but bash can do it in a 1 second, do we care ? the majority of |

ebuilds are going to take magnitudes larger to get the job done |
