Someone else answered that question directly, so I'll try the |

indirect approach. |

Another way to speed up emerges is to download while you compile: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
emerge -fq foo & emerge foo |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Of course it only makes sense if 'foo' has at least one dependency, |
| 15 |
but if you use this command frequently it makes sense to alias it. |

Concurrent downloads used to be difficult, but now that Portage has |
| 18 |
locking it's reasonably safe. Still, every optimization comes with an |
| 19 |
increase in risk, and concurrent downloading is no different. |
