Is that the same reason it was sticking at 50% or so? If so there is a
thread about it on the forums too. I hope that fixed it. My old 200MHz
machine got a heck of a workout. LOL It took 30 minutes to go from 49%
to 51%. The rest wasn't much better. LOL
Yeah.. I sync'ed portage yesterday and still took forever to finish. Although all the way is slow and painful, the worst part was indeed from 50% to 52%.. these 2% take SOOOOOO loooooong....
You say that your old 200MHz took 30m? I'd say my laptop took "at least" 30m yesterday to do it.. and it's a 2.4Ghz... I even think that each update gets worst and worst....
