Subject: [gentoo-user] emerge starts slowly

1 I have a system with a 1.33Ghz Athlon-XP with a decently fast IDE hard drive
2 I have a system with a 1.80Ghz AMD64 with a decently fast IDE hard drive
3
4 When I run "emerge -s whatever" or "emerge sync" or any emerge command
5 apparently, it usually takes about 1 second to start the command on the AMD64
6 system whereas on the Athlon-XP system it usually takes about 10-30 seconds
7 fore the command to start. What I mean by that is for example
8
9 1. # emerge -s tcpdump (press enter)
10 2. Searching... spinner
11 3. output of search
12
13 the time it takes to get to #2 is 1 or less seconds on the AMD64 and 10-30
14 seconds on the Athlon-XP.
15
16 As I said, this seems to be the case for any emerge command on the Athlon-XP
17 system. I seem to recall it not being so slow in the past. Both are on 2.6
18 kernels and both have pleanty of RAM. Gentoo was was installed on the
19 Athlon-XP about 2 or 3 years ago but it is up to date.
20
21 Anyone have any ideas?
