    was basically spending at least an hour every time I started my computer updating.

    Can use the official binhost, and add -g to emerge commands.

    Can lighten the load while compiling (takes longer, but wont feel it, can carry on using everything) with some options in make.conf. E.g:

    MAKEOPTS="-j2 -l2"
    PORTAGE_NICENESS="19" #redundnt with scheduling set to idle  ... o rly?  i'm putting it back on.
    PORTAGE_SCHEDULING_POLICY="idle"
    #PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND="/usr/local/bin/io-priority \${PID}" #redundnt with scheduling set to idle
    EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs 2 --load-average 2.0"
