I have 2.1 and it does have a slight increase in speed, though nothing
compared to debian.

Kuroo is nice, however, portage still lacks the pure brilliance of
aptitude. If you don't know what I'm talking about, get debian (or
something debain-based) and screw around with aptitude a bit. The
think of how cool it'd be that you could use it over ssh without
having to use all the memory for remote desktop. Then notice how fast
it is once you get savvy and start to really leverage it. It's a far
superior piece of software, and I ended up using it rather than
graphical things like Adept, Synaptic, KPackage, and others. It kills
both porthole and Kuroo, if that's what you're asking.
