Thank you for your helping hand. Yes, did perform the surgery (removing the packages you suggested) and run: emerge --depclean -p analyzed every package it wants to remove and put it back in world.

Yes, I do. It might not be the correct way of doing things but I find it practical to run server and workstation as one machine.
Easy to manage and only one computer working (running 7/24).

The way I manage it, I have several computers configures similarly (older ones) as backup.  I upgrade older one first, if most of the major programs I run are still running without problems I upgrade main server.  If something goes wrong, it is easier (less downtime) to just boot older machine point IP to it in firewall and I'm back and running.  
Sometimes troubleshoot something takes time.  
The problem could be harder as well (power supply, fan on CPU etc); so running server/workstation combo (as one machine) is easier.  If something goes wrong, I just boot older machine point IP address in firewall to older machine and I'm back in business in 10min.

Yes, I'm a bit behind. Sometimes upgrading to the latest/newest kernel tent to break something.
My idea is "if it ain't broke don't fix it" :-/

Yes, that could be the case over so many years.

In my USE I have:
USE="gnome -qt4 -hal -arts -berkdb X qtk -qt3 -kde dvd alsa cdr cups apache2 ssl foomaticdb ppds mysql -acl \
java tiff jpeg png usb udev scanner gimp gimpprint cgi fam nptl truetype kpathsea type1 opengl tetex spell consolekit dbus pam policykit -systemd abi_x86_32"

Is anything above irrelevant?

Thank you for recommendation, I've never done some much cleaning as I did today. In addition I didn't know that "world" needs cleaning and what to remove from it.

As I use server/desktop as one machine that is why I have them install it on one machine.

I removed jpeg-turbo.

When I boot the computer I see some complain message about "jpeg" but it scroll too fast, couldn't read it.
Is there a way to pause the boot process? 

Somehow "media-libs/soxr" doesn't want to go away from world, it is needed by:
equery d media-libs/soxr
 * These packages depend on media-libs/soxr:
media-video/ffmpeg-2.6.3 

Thank you for all your help. I tried to follow up and clean these application from "world" 
Here is my trimmed "world" file.
