emerge monitor written in C
Genlop is indeed slow, but qlop is comfortably fast, and emlop is even faster. I encourage you to check them out.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing portage and portage-utils you can also consider the following projects:
pkgcore - a framework for package management
pax-utils - [MIRROR] ELF related utils for ELF 32/64 binaries that can check files for security relevant properties
PyInstaller - Freeze (package) Python programs into stand-alone executables
cpuid2cpuflags - Tool to generate CPU_FLAGS_* for your CPU
emwa - Portage Log-Analysis
emlop - EMerge LOg Parser
libxft-bgra - A patched version of libxft that allows for colored emojis to be rendered in Suckless software (dmenu/st/whatever).
