It spent several minutes at "Calculating world dependencies", with the "spinner" very slowly moving. Eventually it ran. Subsequent calls to emerge ran at the usual speed I'm accustomed to. My main machine is an AMDK8 3000+, in 32bit mode, with 2 gigs of ram. My emergency backup machine is a 1999 Dell PIII, 450 mhz with 128 megs of ram. It's extremely painful on this one. The spinner takes about 2 or 3 seconds to move 45 degrees (1/8th of a full spin). Eventually it finishes after several minutes. Subsequent attempts run at the normal speed. Does it have to fill some sort of cache? I also notice USE flags in the outout. "-ip32r10k%" is in yellow, whatever that signifies...
