11 Yes, definitely follow the guide.

13 During the emege -e world, if you use MAKEOPTS=-jN, where N>1, you may
14 notice some things fail to build (at least I did). Doing a
15 "MAKEOPTS=-j1 emerge -e --resume world" is the way around most
16 problems.

18 Also, if you use KDE, you may want to checkout the kdehiddenvisibility
19 flag before commencing the emerge -e world. Setting it should improve
20 KDE startup times. I can't say I noticed a dramatic speedup, but my
21 laptop is definitely at the high-end of the performance range...
