18 I did this to a few of my servers and it works well. Then I did it to my
19 internal portage mirror. When my internal machine sync against it, it
20 runs very slow... I'm not overly surprised, but I'd like some
21 clarification on why that's happening. I suppose the fix would be two
22 separate copies of portage. One for the machine and one to serve out of
23 rsync that doesn't have the cdb stuff.
