Hi, Graphite *can* improve the performance of some packages, but might worsen the performance of others. You might want to read through this thread: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1052716-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html Personally, I enable it on a per package basis, python's performance gets a bit better with it.

Using a simple google-search, I can't find anything recent. -- Joost
