Hmmm, it seems that -I may have found the cause of my 
observed slowdown.

% time pkg version -I -vl '<'
pkg: Can't access /usr/ports/INDEX-13: No such file or directory
        0.00 real         0.00 user         0.00 sys

I cannot find an announcement that FreeBSD-12 had branched.
I have /usr/ports/INDEX-12, but I also rebuilt world yesterday
where I track head and obviously head sources are from after
the branch.

%  uname -v
FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT r339736 HPC

Deleting /usr/ports/INDEX-12 and doing "make fetchindex" in
/usr/ports pulls the INDEX-13 file.  I now see

% time pkg version -vl '<'
        0.09 real         0.09 user         0.00 sys

which is what I expected.  Apologies for the noise.
