   the one thing I like about bitbake more than portage is that it can execute tasks in parallel.
   
   for example, it might run configure stage for multiple packages at the same time, saving total time spent on build. Especially, most buildsystems don't do configure in parallel anyway, and autotools based projects in particular might spend few minutes just configuring the build. It also might start downloading the packages while it builds another, also saving time.
   
   (bitbake is a build system used by yocto/openembedded, it was inspirted by portage)

     @a1ba autoconf was always annoying when every project takes minutes to check the same shit. i vaguely remember it having support for caches somehow
