[gentoo-user] Should emerge --sync be so slow?

[Alex Bennee]

As my system has become more lived in I've noticed the time taken to
update the cache at the end of an emerge --sync is getting slower and
slower. The system will hang around 50% for a long time and thrash the
crap out of the disks.

Is this just usual behaviour for portage? Is there anyway to flush the
cache files and start again with a clean emerge --sync?
