> And syncing portage is done nightly using a cron job to do "emerge --sync"; however, I run "emerge world -vuDNp" manually. |

How often does this cron job run and what are the contents of your |
| 5 |
cron script. Do you use "emerge --sync" or probably "eix-sync". I am |
| 6 |
asking this because if you sync to often and you use eix-sync the |
| 7 |
portage cache is deleted in advantage of the sync and is not recreated |
| 8 |
if it fails because of identical timestamps between the local machine |
| 9 |
and the rsync server. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
So when calling emerge after this the cache has to be created before |
| 12 |
and thus it seems dependency calculation takes very long. |
