What is the problem with ports PR reaction delays?

I use the following workflow:

1)
  daily update to the /usr/ports tree using
  cd /usr/ports
  svn --non-interactive update

2)
  To check a port, I have a cpport script, which copies the port
  to a working directory:

----------
#!/usr/local/bin/bash

if [ X$1 = 'X' ]
then
    echo "usage: $0 <port/dir>"
    exit 1
fi

if [ ! -d /usr/ports/$1 ]
then
    echo "$0: error: invalid directory '/usr/ports/$1'"
    exit 1
fi

cd ~/myp && rm -rf $1

cd /usr/ports && tar cf - $1 | ( cd ~/myp; tar xf -)

----------

3)
  If I test a port, I do a
  cd ~/myp/<port>
  make

This works most of the time.

poudriere is better, but needs disk and CPU time.
