Someone else answered that question directly, so I'll try the
indirect approach.
Another way to speed up emerges is to download while you compile:
emerge -fq foo & emerge foo
Of course it only makes sense if 'foo' has at least one dependency,
but if you use this command frequently it makes sense to alias it.
Concurrent downloads used to be difficult, but now that Portage has
locking it's reasonably safe. Still, every optimization comes with an
increase in risk, and concurrent downloading is no different.
Peace,
Mike
