Running ''portmaster ghostscript9-9.06_10'' takes a lot of time

It's a pretty sizable difference...

% svn co -r394572 [ Mk, print]
% cd print/ghostscript9
% time make -V MAINTAINER
doceng at FreeBSD.org
0.903u 0.023s 0:00.92 100.0%    834+264k 82+0io 6pf+0w

% ( cd ../../Mk && svn up -r394573 )
Updating '.':
U    bsd.options.mk
U    bsd.port.mk
Updated to revision 394573.

% time make -V MAINTAINER
doceng at FreeBSD.org
81.908u 0.070s 1:21.99 99.9%    848+264k 82+0io 5pf+0w


And how many times is make(1) gonna have to parse up the makefile and
