I have a QX9650 and it can be a few minutes on mine, especially on a |
| 12 |
world update. My slower CPUs (Celerons) can take more than five minutes, |
| 13 |
I don't even want to think about embedded. |

I'd be interested as well to know as well. It used to be it did a simple |
| 20 |
dependency check and installed packages - then revdep-rebuild could |
| 21 |
check for packages that need rebuilds. |

It's not really an issue if you only run emerge once, but if you have to |
| 24 |
do it several times in one session it gets old really quick. It reminds |
| 25 |
me of waiting for Windows XP checking for updates. Just give it a half |
| 26 |
hour, it'll figure it out. :-( |
