I rebuilt chromium with USE="jumbo-build" with amazing results:
Fri May 4 12:37:06 2018 >>> www-client/chromium-66.0.3359.139
merge time: 1 day, 41 minutes and 56 seconds.
Sat May 5 18:28:05 2018 >>> www-client/chromium-66.0.3359.139
merge time: 9 hours, 20 minutes and 1 second.
Inevitably the first build took place to a large extent overnight when the PC
was not in use. Otherwise during day time the PC saw similar usage, light
browsing, emails. The above result shows more than a 60% shorter emerge time!
I noticed slightly more swap was being used (c. 100M or so).
Thanks Neil for suggesting it. :-)
