Please don't assume everyone is running your latest and greatest PC
hardware, or processors that measure in the GHz, regardless of
architecture. We have officially supported architectures where a few
seconds may be a generous statement of the delay (low end SPARC64 systems
for instance). The initialization delay of portage is very much felt
here, either via emerge or other tools like equery.
