This performance penalty is + due to the addition of important new features which include the ability to + detect reverse blockers, the building of a complete dependency graph, and the + ability to use installed packages to satisify dependencies even after their + ebuilds have been removed from the portage tree. * emerge does not necessarily update build time dependencies that are not strictly required.
