Description Dionysis Zindros 2006-05-06 12:51:09 UTC

Since download requires bandwidth and compiling requires CPU time, why not have packages downloaded and compiled at the same time?

For example, if I `emerge kde`, it will download a number of packages and compile each one after each download. Why not download the second and the third one while the first one is being compiled? That will sure save us people with slow connections some time :-)
