I have a 900mhz celeron (copermine), and maybe its the love-sources and ~x86 packages, but ive still been able to do crazy things like talk on irc, have firefox open, update some programs, all while 'emerge sync'-ing without too much preformance lost* (now if i forget to turn off seti@home.....then my computer will simply lockup untill i can get to a tty). You might want to check out if theres something with your laptop, if these extremly long times happen with other equpiment. * I should mention i emerge sync every one or two days. -- Joe Booker -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
