No, they won't. Honestly guys, what is this thread about?
You're not gonna make portupgrade work any faster or
smoother if you weed out a couple of switches from the
command-line. I don't mean to bother anyone if you're
having fun, but it just seems that portupgrade's manpage
covers it all. If you're not sure - just try it. If something's
strange - see if it's a bug, and if you're sure it is - send-pr.
