What's eix, then? Apart from a "small utility for searching ebuilds with indexing for fast results".

I'm using esearch at the moment - should I change?

The results of `eix ktorrent` above seem more comprehensive than those that'd be give by esearch, is that the only advantage? `esync` takes bleedin' ages on one system here, so if eix was faster I'd use it in a flash.
