No. Portage 2.1.1_pre1-r1 |

Just like the current version, it seems? :) Yesterday, it took |
| 23 |
about 30 Minutes to do "Calculating world dependencies". That *IS* |
| 24 |
slow. |

Sure? What's done in the "Updating Portage cache" step? Why is |
| 37 |
"man emerge" saying, that --metadata is (sort of) run after a |
| 38 |
--sync? |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
So, as I said, it's certainly not a missing --metadata run. What's |
| 41 |
causing emerge to be so terribly slow sometimes? It's also not a |
| 42 |
matter of load - I had nothing intensive running at this time, just |
| 43 |
emerge, firefox (no flash site shown), thunderbird. In top, emerge |
| 44 |
was shown as the most active process. |

Can't be done. This happened from time to time again for a long period |
| 50 |
now. And it happens with the current version. |
