This is my settings at the moment: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
PORTAGE_NICENESS=5 |
| 21 |
PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND="ionice -c -3 -p \${PID}" |
| 22 |
MAKEOPTS="-j6" |
| 23 |
FEATURES="buildpkg sandbox fixpackages parallel-fetch --keep-going" |
| 24 |
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y --backtrack=30" |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
That works very well here for me. Rig, AMD 4 core CPU at 3.2Ghz, 4Gbs |
| 27 |
of ram at DDR3 1600 and SATA 3.0Gbs/sec. Your mileage may vary tho. |
