I've also noticed that portupgrade takes forever to update my ports when 
using the X.org modular ports tree. I (mostly) fixed it by switching to 
portmanager, which seems to work *a lot* faster than portupgrade.  
Registering the port still takes a good bit of time, but I found that 
the rest of the process was expedited with the switch.

Sincerely,
