47 Can you nice the thing too? That would work. I set emerge to 5 and I
48 can't even tell that emerge is running most of the time. There may be
49 times when I can but it is rare.

51 I just don't get this thing that indexing is a resource hog. I notice
52 updatedb running at night. I have 329Gbs of "data" and updatedb only
53 takes a few minutes. How is that a resource "hog"? My machine is not
54 as old as some but it is slow going by the new machines that are out
55 now. It's a AMD 2500+ with 2Gbs of ram. I have had Linux on machines
56 as slow as 133MHz but never felt the need to disable indexing.
