I've recently done 11 months worth of updates on this box and have about 40 hours of build time on it in the last 10 days. I want to use it, not watch more text fly by on the console.

Try compiling it at a lower priority.

I just put this in my /etc/make.conf file:
PORTAGE_NICENESS=19

Compiling a new proggie slows the system down a little bit, but I can still run anything I want and use my system while building something else to play with.
