How long it takes depends on the number of changes, first time will 
probably take a longer. You can speed up in two ways: instead of 
ports-all specify the parts you want updated. Or, use a refuse file.

The two methods work oposite: with the first you actively select the 
parts you want with refuse file you active select the parts you don't want.

I recommend the latter because some times the ports tree is reorganized 
and you won't get new groups if you use the first method.

Whichever you choose, sometimes you get surprised: I found a nice tool 
for converting chm-files to html in the chinese collection!??

Cheers, Erik
