reinstalling port - long pkg create run times

[Anton Shterenlikht]

This seems too long:

  PID USERNAME   THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU COMMAND
 5861 root         1 101    0   162M 32800K RUN     38:06 91.70% pkg

 5861  0  R+      38:17.67 |               `-- pkg create teTeX-texmf-3.0_8

This is on 

real memory  = 2147483648 (2048 MB)
avail memory = 2079154176 (1982 MB)
cpu0: Sun Microsystems UltraSparc-IIIi Processor (1503.00 MHz CPU)

Are such long run times to be expected on this box
on pkg create?

Thanks
