== Kept updated portage tree ==
Even if you do not doing full update everyday, you should upgrading portage tree. It will reduce time what you may need to sync tree before system upgrade. Also, if you just want install something, it will be installed with latest deps so you will not waste time on upgrading it while full system upgrade. Example script to upgrade portage and overlay every day
{{Code|/etc/cron.daily/autosync.sh|<pre>#!/bin/bash

log="/var/log/autosync.log"

if [ ! -f $log ]; then
touch $log
chmod 600 $log
chown root:root $log
fi

echo >> $log
echo "*** autosync started! ($(date +'%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S'))" >> $log
echo "*** running emerge --sync" >> $log
emerge -q --sync >> $log 2>&1
if [ -f /usr/bin/layman ]; then
echo >> $log
echo "*** running layman -S" >> $log
/usr/bin/layman -S --nocolor >> $log 2>&1
fi
</pre>}}

== Purge unused distfiles ==
Distfiles may took a lot of space, if you do not clean them from time to time it may be an issue. There is many way to cleanup them.

* Remove distfiles which wasn't accessed in last 90 days. ('''WARNING''': It will not work if distfiles are on filesystem with '''noatime''' option. You may want think about '''relatime''').

{{Code|/etc/cron.daily/distfiles-auto-purge.sh|<pre>#!/bin/bash
find /usr/portage/distfiles -maxdepth 1 -type f -atime +90 -exec rm {} \;</pre>}}

 == Keep Portage Tree Up-To-Date ==
 Even if you're not doing a full update every day, you should sync the portage tree and overlays regularly. It will reduce the time that you need to sync tree before a system upgrade. Also, if you just want to install something, it will be installed with latest deps so you will not waste time on upgrading it later. Here is an example script to upgrade portage and overlay every day:
