The speed problem i have is that really small things like "portageq" takes more than one second to get a simple variable. Maybe 1.5sec doesn't sound that much but you'll see that it's very annoying when small shellscript wait 1.5secs before they even get a simple variable. Even worse if you query more things. Because of this i still do everything the ugly way and define Variables on the top of each scripts instead of using the tools provided by portage.
