No, it doesn't make parsing faster. Had you bothered to profile any
package manager you'd know that.
How much is parsing speed relevant when users in majority of cases
already have the metadata cache from the rsync servers?
For devs (or users) hacking on an ebuild they have to source it anyway
so the addition pre-parsing is negligible...
