9 Portage is written in Python, normally running on CPython. While CPython
10 is the standard, it isn't the fastest way to run Python.

12 You could try switching over to PyPy, which uses a JIT-compiler that
13 CPython doesn't have. This should get quite a big performance boost, if
14 portage is being able to run under PyPy, that is.

16 Alternatively you could try a portage replacement like Paludis, which is
17 being written completely in C++.
