Sounds like portupgrade is building an INDEX file. You'll see a
message about running 'portsdb -Uu' if it is. What you've seen is
pretty much the expected impact I'd expect from doing that.
You should be able to download a recently build INDEX file by running
# make fetchindex
before starting your portupgrade -- it's about 6Mb. After doing that
portupgrade will only need to run 'portsdb -u' which is a lot lighter
weight.
Although if your system can build the INDEX file in 5 minutes, you
might as well let it do that. Takes more like 20 minutes on my
machine.
Cheers,
Matthew
