Imho that's really a very important point. That was my main
motivation (the other being einfo readibility) when i tried to
make emerge less verbose (bug#37491). Checkout this small benchs
if you want numbers for gnome-terminal:

I remember that at that time i also tested some emerges in linux
console, and it was not significantly slower than >/dev/null or
quiet mode, even when using the framebuffer (at least with my
video card). Also, the "Something funny..." note about scheduling
with portage niced to 19 doesn't seem to apply anymore with more
recent kernels (that was one year ago...).
