Interestingly, I see this behaviour only _partially_ with

  %ls -d /var/db/pkg/portupgrade*
  /var/db/pkg/portupgrade-devel-2.3.1

I've just upgraded the following ports (extract from build script):

  ===>   Registering installation for sudo-1.6.9.3_1
  ===>   Registering installation for jasper-1.900.1_6
  ===>   Registering installation for intltool-0.36.0
  ===>   Registering installation for cups-base-1.2.11_3
  ===>   Registering installation for libglade2-2.6.2
  ===>   Registering installation for ffmpeg-2007.07.12_1
  ===>   Registering installation for libgnomeprint-2.18.0_3
  ===>   Registering installation for py25-tkinter-2.5.1_2
  ===>   Registering installation for xpdf-3.02_2
  ===>   Registering installation for gstreamer-0.10.14
  ===>   Registering installation for gstreamer-plugins-0.10.14,3

However:

  %ls -lt /var/db/pkg/*/*CONTENTS

  [...]
  [all other +CONTENTS files are in 11:13 and 11:12]

This means that upgrading of gstreamer-plugins affected only ports
depending on it (aMule and wxgtk2*). But this is obviously not the case
with some other ports.

However[2]:

  %ls -lt /var/db/pkg | head
  total 23198

  drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel       512 Aug  6 11:16 libXcomposite-0.3.2,1

I haven't recently noticed any significant change in performance. (The
times in the above lists are not relevant since couple of demanding
things were running at the same time.)
