I think if you install the stage3 tarball, you install precompiled 
packages. I'm told there are precompiled kde binaries out there, but 
I've always done stage1, long time to wait installs.

I've had a few problems with emerging (I currently can't emerge the 
newest GCC, and I haven't found out why yet - usually they fix 
themselves after a few weeks), but it hasn't hampered my using gentoo. 
Currently, alsa is being a pain in the butt, but I found out this 
morning it is because I'm not using my USE keywords correctly - again, 
with the laziness.
