True, but "--fetchonly" emerge can pull in sources as fast as possible while the other emerge compiles stuff. That makes sense if you are paying through your nose for bandwidth. Now I have got a related question: Imagine you have got one portage tree on one box but several boxes that NFS mount it with different world files. Will several parallel "emerge --fetchonly" processes on those different boxes still be safe?
