On a reasonably fast system (dual core 64 bit with RAID5 over SATA2): eix lafilefixer 0.03s user 0.01s system 13% cpu 0.288 total emerge -s lafilefixer 1.37s user 0.19s system 63% cpu 2.460 total almost ten times as long. On a much slower system, Dell Mini 10: eix lafilefixer 0.17s user 0.05s system 17% cpu 1.251 total emerge -s lafilefixer 8.64s user 1.46s system 42% cpu 23.803 total Nearer twenty times as long. So the conclusion is that if you spend enough on hardware, emerge -s is only ten times slower than eix :-O -- Neil Bothwick Press any key... no, no, no, NOT THAT ONE!
