The time is about the same (in my experiance) AND (most importantly)
portmanager seems to handle upgrading better then portupgrade does.

IE: Thunderbird, Gnome, Firefox.

Another nifty thing is that portmanager creates a package and dumps it
in /usr/ports/mail/thunderbird (for example) and at least for me, I can
pkg_add that to my laptop since they both run 5.3
