Description Ismael Orenstein 2003-09-27 12:51:12 UTC

When I try to emerge something and I have to download dependencies, emerge 
fetch then serially. First it fetches one, then compiles it, then fetches the 
other, etc. This wastes time... could it be possible to make it fetch the 
dependencies in parallel with the compilation? So, when it finishes compiling 
one dependency, it could already start to compile the next. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
