Well, what strange results. Desktop responsiveness is drastically
improved. On the other hand:
$ time (sudo emerge --sync)
[...]
real 10m3.185s
user 0m6.331s
sys 0m0.575s
This is with a Gentoo rsync server on the same LAN segment. A P4 box on
the same segment recorded about 65s for the same command - nearly 10
times as fast.
Hmm, in that case try to be less aggressive in the portage settings.
For example comment out the PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND line in make.conf and
see if that's the cause of the slowdown. Also try lower nice levels
instead of 19.
Though I'm not sure why this happens in the first place.
