Hi, |

due to space considerations on my laptop I have moved portage onto a |
| 4 |
network share (moosfs, mfsmounted) - slower but works fine. However, |
| 5 |
being a laptop trying to update/install when out and about is both very |
| 6 |
slow and network intensive through a vpn - again, it works but is even |
| 7 |
slower to the point of not always being practical |

Is there a way to localise/speedup portage scanning parts of the |
| 10 |
update/install process? |

1. put it on a squashfs share to save space (the laptop is running btrfs |
| 13 |
with compression so I don't think that will get me much) |
| 14 |
|

2. put portage on an sd card and mount it when necessary |
| 16 |

The laptop is a Surface Pro4 so expanding the storage is not practical - |
| 18 |
though I could shrink the windows partition a little more. |
