On a more serious note, gentoo is fun… On competent hardware. This is a 4 core Celeron N2940 with 4gb of RAM.

    Time to figure out distcc so you can offload the compilation to a faster machine.

        I think that’s more for when you have multiple machines (that would use the same USE flags) and you only want to have to compile once. OP’s use-case re: binary packages would be more about getting them from somebody else (i.e. a public binhost that already exists) so he doesn’t have to compile at all.
