Nope, but maybe the phrase "loading the API" was misleading. I'd like to 
replace it with: "But using the API slows down the whole script.". This 
means it is much slower to get the additional informations by portage 
API than just grep'ing throught the ebuild files. If I run the python 
e-file on my machine it takes 3.2 seconds for a single file. The bash 
e-file show the same result within a second or so.
