After every rsync it rebuilds the cache... at least by default.
That's what takes the most time with an emerge sync on my 166MHz computer.
It was discussed a while ago that the cache has changed maybe by 5%, but
it does it all again. Parses some things, writes lots of files to cache,
etc. There were ideas how to make it quick again, but unfortunately either
no-one has brought it to reality or into the official portage.
If that's not your speed problem, disregard this e-mail, but I believe
this the most time demanding operation with emerge sync as of now.
