I am running emerge with emerge -e1 world system --jobs=7 --load-average=8 but portage starts one job after the other (mean value is around 30) as long load is below 8. Plus and I don't know if its just a follow up many packages aren't merged directly into the live system but with minutes of delay. WARNING: One or more repositories have missing repo_name entries: /usr/portage/local/layman/dberkholz/profiles/repo_name NOTE: Each repo_name entry should be a plain text file containing a unique name for the repository on the first line.

In order to handle cases like bug 256616 and bug 259954, system packages are not merged immediately. They are merged only when no builds are currently running. Because of this, there may be a number of packages waiting in a queue to be merged at any given time (after their src_install phase has completed). However, number of packages that are being built simultaneously never exceeds the --jobs setting.
Thanks for explanation. It is right all package were system packages and they were hanging after src_install.
