If you are able, maybe you can compile the bigger packages on a faster

If I have multiple similar machines, I create a shared a shared local
repository. Then I run emerge with the settings (can't remember what
they are) "use binary if it's there, create binary".
That way, especially the big ones, only get built on one machine.
Oh man! That would be wonderful. How similar do they need to be? All
my x86 machines are currently AMD, I think, but probably from different
generations.
What I would do is find out whatever -march fits the oldest chip, and
then set that for all the machines. Especially if, as you say, they're
all AMD the chances are the newer chips will be a superset of the old,
so by compiling for the oldest it *should* (famous last words) work
everywhere.
