Now that the public key stuff is working again (knock on wood), I'm curious if it's usual for an emerge --sync to take 10-15 minutes longer than it used due to the "Verifying /usr/portage" step.
On some systems (with fewer packages installed) it only takes a minute or less. But, on my "main" desktop system it takes 10-15 minutes every time. During the verify step, the emerge process is only using about 5% of the CPU, and my system is running 80% or more idle. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! TONY RANDALL!
