I know when I had dial up I prefered doing a emerge --sync && emerge
-f --world during the evening when it was cheaper to be connected than
during the day I just CTRL+ATL+F1 and did an emerge --world and left
it to do its own thing with out requiring a connection. Other than
that if I need some more processing power a simple CTRL+C and an
emerge --resume --world later I am back to updating :D
