Portupgrade very slow upgrading gtk-sharp

[Mike Clarke]

I started portupgrade -a at midnight last night. It started to upgrade 
gtk-sharp-1.0.10 from _14 to _15 at 00:58 and is still running more 
than 9 hours later and clocking up 80% to 90% CPU on both cores of my 
2.5GHz Athlon.

Should mono be grabbing so much CPU? It only took 8 hours to build 
OpenOffice earlier in the week!
