Oh! I hadn't realized there was an update to portage that changed
that. Missed it on my main box, I suppose.

You have got to crawl out of the hole every once in a while.  It was on 
-dev then got moved over to the forums with a poll, which the results 
were ignored.

Bad thing is, they won't announce the change until it hits stable.  I'm 
thinking of adding it to my sig so people will notice it and not have to 
ask.

Hm. Honestly, I don't know that it's such a terrible default. IMO,
it'd be better if builds couldn't be slowed down by slow terminals,
but this is probably the simpler solution.
