You should not compile Firefox, just use firefox-bin, it is often updated and it take a lot of time to build. You should not use Gnome for your DAW compilation time is to big and with a lighter window manager you will have better result with your audio stuff (I use window maker). Xorg use a huge time to build, but hopefully it is not often updated. I usually upgrade my Gentoo every month during my sleep. Regards Philippe
