   The emerge command on #gentoo always seems to need a bit of time to start up. I'm guessing it needs to read in the ebuild database.
   
   I wonder if there's a package manager that works as a daemon. Just read in data once and keep it in memory. Would be lightning fast.
   
   Probably not worth the added complexity, since you don't run package management commands all day.

     I know #Nix and #Guix have a daemon, but that's for a different purpose... At least, I'm pretty sure Guix still needs to load the package "database" (compiled scheme files in this case) every time you run a command. Don't know about Nix.
