Hi folks,

recently, I searched for a reason why emerge --update is that slow. (And
in my eyes, needless slow.)

I found a thread[0] on gentoo forum where I found a really helpful hint.

   emerge --backtrack=0 ...

Would do the same job in 99% of the cases but in about 1/5 of the run
time.

Sadly the thread did not end in a helpful conclusion but maybe it helps
to bring that to the discussion again.

I even would like to have a update check in nagios for my gentoo boxes
too but as it is that slow and consume that much resources, it is to
costly.

Regards
   Klaus
