How about speeding up the wait time on updating the portage cache after
a sync.. even on my AMD 64 3500 it takes a number of minutes to chug
through..
are there any known ways to "vrrmmm" this up a little?


+1

Mine sped up for all of a day, but is slow as molasses once again. If I did my 
syncs during the day it might even peeve me...

What kind of hardware are you guys running on? My laptop isn't on cron and I do it every couple days or so and it finishes in around 15-30 minutes.. I've never really paid any attention.. How long is yours taking?

What I am curious about is... what's it really doing when it says 51-52%.. That 1% seems to take forever..
