equery belong revdep-rebuild 1st run 45 seconds 2nd run 12 seconds machine: 1.5GHz Pentium M with 0.5G of memory That's inconveniently slow. I suggest to rewrite the tool responsible for the delay to utilize CPU efficiently. It's just an operation of a search in a list, which is not so big.
Reopen with a patch, thanks.
On my Amd64 time of this operation was about 5s. The good idea will be re-emerge gentoolkit and pade revdep-rebuild that could help.
