The change is due to the addition of provide's to the cache; that
doesn't affect speed, although .51 is a bit faster since a couple of
issues w/ the cache handling code have been corrected.

Main one being the addition of __cache(Array|Key) to portage_db_template
storing the last 3 keys pulled for that category, correcting an issue w/
aux_get where it went to disk *way* more then was needed.  At some point
I'd think the __cache(Array|Key) addition should be moved up above the
portage_db layer, since w/ right now it makes addition of a memcached
based cache semi-tricky/ugly.
