27 I recently had ‘emerge -avutND’ throw 713 packages at me after not
28 updating for a couple of weeks. It took me a few days to get it back to
29 an updated state but I managed.

31 ~100 packages is not unusual if you don't update for a week or so,
32 especially if something gets an update that other things depend on at
33 which point it might remerge all those packages as well.
