Latest stable portage told me this:

In case this makes any odds, I am using eix. Do I need the above script?
The q tool has it's own database. q-reinitialize updates it. It takes
0.1 seconds to complete, so you can just activate it and forget about
it. You can also execute it manually to see how fast it is.
