I now finally got around to actually TRY what I put in the wiki at 
http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_speed_up_portage_with_cdb :)

And I discovered, that this doesn't work for me :(
When I write your lines in /etc/portage/modules and
run "emerge --metadata", I get the following error:

alexander@blatt ~ $ time sudo emerge --verbose --metadata

====================================
Error: Failed to import module 'cache.cdb.database'

  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1290, in load_best_module
    mod = load_mod(best_mod)
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 149, in load_mod
    mod = __import__(modname)
No module named cdb
====================================

But when I put the "old lines" (those with portage_db_cdb.database)
in the modules file, I get:

alexander@blatt ~ $ time sudo emerge --verbose --metadata

====================================
Error: Failed to import module 'portage_db_cdb.database'

  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1290, in load_best_module
    mod = load_mod(best_mod)
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 149, in load_mod
    mod = __import__(modname)
  File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_db_cdb.py", line 17, in ?
    import portage_db_template
No module named portage_db_template
====================================

Well, for me, it seems that the 2nd version (with
portage_db_cdb.database) seems to be a little bit
more "successful", as it actually LOADS the
portage_db_cdb.py file. That's not done with the
version using 'cache.cdb.database' - here it fails
to load a module named cdb.

Is anyone using CDB with Portage 2.1?
