That's the point.  I rarely use it.  The only genlop command I may use 
every once in a while is genlop -c.  I use that to see how long 
something has been compiling or if it is a major upgrade, what is 
actually being compiled at the time.  Generally, the estimated time 
remaining is worthless.  Most of the time, it isn't even in the ballpark.

So, unless there is a problem with a recent emerge, I don't really have 
a need for it.
