in the general case, dash will typically parse faster than bash. but is this speed gain relevant ? if dash can parse an ebuild in 10% of the time that it takes bash, but bash can do it in a 1 second, do we care ? the majority of ebuilds are going to take magnitudes larger to get the job done (running ./configure && make). -mike
