for better perf i use ext2 with some tweak
mkfs.ext2 -I2048 -m0 /dev/myPartition
I use sqlite in backend and eix for searching update
the speed is now really excellent
every thing could be found on wiki
good luck

No . Please share with us all how to make it faster. Is it

Hi,
another thing that might help is not generating the cache at all. It
appears that we can get away with what is in /usr/portage/metadata/cache.
I've put -metadata-transfer into FEATURES to tell portage to skip the
Generating cache stuff, and added the following to my
/etc/portage/modules:
Chris, Strong and Emil - most excellent suggestions, and I'd love to try

I unmasked portage-2.2_pre4 to see if it would help with the extreme
slowness of portage updating of its cache during a sync. I had also
previously emerged cdb to try to help with that also. Anyway, I'm not
really sure what state my portage is in right now, except that now every

*if* you move /usr/portage to something like reisterfs, you will get
better performacem even on slower machines. my PIII/800 can update the
cache in ~ 3 minutes now ext3 just doesn't cut it in a busy tree
like portage ... the filesystem just
