1. running two emerges in parallel might brake those binaries.
2. you don't get any speedgain from doing it.
3. if you want to speed things up do a 'emerge -f appname1 appname 2' prior to
emerging. that will download the sources only and you won't have a delay
for downloading.
4. you can run 'emerge appname1 appname2 appname3 appname4 ....' in one
command.
