My only suggestion would be to use pkgcore instead of portage. It is compatible at configuration/data format level, so your script should work out of the box for Portage users. I'm not sure how much faster it will be. However, it will surely be more readable considering how horrible Portage API is. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
