Portage and eix cache

I recently changed my desktop's Portage and eix cache from the default to sqlite using this guide. Haven't noticed any speed improvements running emerge or equery d, but eix-update is now lightning fast. However, not all overlays support an sqlite eix cache. So I don't recommend turning on the sqlite eix cache for overlays unless you're only using ones that support it. So far I've noticed that x11 does whereas sunrise doesn't.
