Subject: [gentoo-user] Is my laptop getting old, or are some packages more and more demanding?

1 I looked at how long some packages are taking these days. I noticed that
2 firefox and chromium take a lot longer to emerge than was the case 3-4 years
3 ago. For example:
4
5 # genlop -t www-client/firefox
6 * www-client/firefox
7
8 Sat Dec 18 17:19:14 2010 >>> www-client/firefox-3.6.13
9 merge time: 1 minute and 16 seconds.
10 [snip ...]
11
12 Sat Jun 14 22:37:43 2014 >>> www-client/firefox-24.6.0
13 merge time: 54 minutes and 59 seconds.

15
16 # genlop -t www-client/chromium
17 * www-client/chromium
18
19 Sat Aug 6 09:44:27 2011 >>> www-client/chromium-13.0.782.107-r1
20 merge time: 30 minutes and 52 seconds.
21 [snip ...]
22
23 Sat Jun 14 21:42:44 2014 >>> www-client/chromium-35.0.1916.153
24 merge time: 1 hour, 34 minutes and 49 seconds.

27 I am wondering if something in my configuration is causing this, rather than
28 my laptop getting older for the continuously evolving and perhaps more
29 demanding (in terms of resources to compile) software code. Have you noticed
30 something similar?
