   Yes, KDE3 meta is quite slow, as you have those big tarballs and each time you   
   build a new meta package, it has to unpack the tarball and run configure,   
   which makes it to take quite long time. KDE4 meta is faster, but it still uses   
   a handful tarballs for all the 240+ ebuilds, but a few more than it was fro   
   KDE3.
