You do know that `portupgrade -af -P` is the same as `portupgrade -afP`, and that what it's saying is: force an upgrade of all installed packages using packages if available, otherwise build the packages from the ports? I'm also curious as to why you just do not use /etc/libmap.conf, instead of rebuilding all installed packages, that would be even faster. Just rebuild the ones that are necessary to be rebuilt right away and let the others go until `portversion -vL=` says the installed package needs updating. Here's another thing to consider: a lot of the prebuilt packages are not uptodate (maybe most are now, but I doubt if every one is), if you install those, you've still got the problem of packages built with out of date library dependencies.
