Dear developers

When I do a fresh installation, I like to do several "emerge -av <packagename>" in parallel and look at the useflags, maybe stop an emerge, change some useflags and emerge again. I do it for optimizing the usage of the cpu and human ressources.

It would be nice if there would be an option to emerge, that the niceness starts after calculating the dependencies or after interaction. e.g.

#no nice in the beginning
emerge -va --niceness-after-interaction 19 go
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   U ] dev-lang/go-....

Total: ...

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] <- Yes
# Getting (very) nice -n19

>>> Verifying ebuild manifests

Thanks for your work

Maybe we could just change PORTAGE_NICENESS behavior?
