That's curious. So I can delete this tarball then? |

If it's not, then I really need to ask why on earth portage takes so |
| 28 |
long to just index and search packages that took apt-get much less |
| 29 |
time to work with. I don't think it should be this slow. I'm not |
| 30 |
even talking about compile-times - I know and expect those to be slow, |
| 31 |
but just raw package searching and stuff is not that fast. |
