According to my emerge --info output I have sandbox, usersandbox and userpriv, 
all set.  The owner of my portage directory and all files therein is 
root:root.  Should the ownership be portage:portage?  What is the default?

I haven't performed a full portage sync for a while now to confirm how long it 
takes here, but a re-sync over a slow ADSL takes ~20 minutes on a dual core 
ancient Intel, much less on my more modern PCs.  More than 80% of this time is 
spent on verifying the signatures of the downloaded tmp sync file.  I would 
think on a modern AMD Ryzen PC like the OP's it should take a fraction of the 
time.
