try doing the emerge of one package in one terminal, then in the other do
the same emerge with fetchonly option after the first one has started
compilation. this will fetch the packages while the other is still building.
the resume also, works only once for what i know. that's why the paludis
hooks that always prints out the packages to install (before actually
installing them and after each time you stop the compile) and the one
installed is a better way to handle the stop and restart of compilation
processes.
