Description Jed Liu 2004-01-06 23:58:19 UTC 
Unmerging is painfully slow.  Especially with kernel sources.  I find I can unmerge kernel sources infinitely faster by using `rm -rf' before using `emerge -C'.  Is there any way this can be fixed?

Reproducible: Always

Nope. Can't selectively track when it's convenient.
