[gentoo-user] How long does "Verifying /usr/portage" take?

[Grant Edwards]

Now that the public key stuff is working again (knock on wood), I'm
curious if it's usual for an emerge --sync to take 10-15 minutes
longer than it used due to the "Verifying /usr/portage" step.

On some systems (with fewer packages installed) it only takes a minute
or less. But, on my "main" desktop system it takes 10-15 minutes every
time.  During the verify step, the emerge process is only using about
5% of the CPU, and my system is running 80% or more idle.
