1 Well...I got to trying the methods out tonight...and first started with a 'time' of my standard procedure...
2
3 $ time emerge world -vuDNp
4 real 1m41.658s
5 user 1m8.664s
6 sys 0m16.921s
7
8 $ time emerge world -vuDNp
9 real 0m36.697s
10 user 0m35.026s
11 sys 0m1.124s
12
13
14 That was two runs right in a row...but no where near the time level I saw the other day - which was well over half an hour. (I went to bed before it stopped the other day...)
15
16 I am going to guess that it was a portage cache issue and the daily update fixed it, or something.
17
18 Any how...will keep the ideas in mind should it happen again.

20 Thanks All!

35 Is the second run significantly faster, if yes chances are high that
36 there is a problem with the portage cache.
