Redoing that: > > portmaster -L | filterfu: 43.6 > pkg_version -vl'<': 30.5 > portversion -vl'<': 3.6 > portmaster -L --index-only: 2.5 I don't have the same experience by far: on a jail i have: ..... ===>>> 68 total installed ports ===>>> 61 have new versions available portmaster -L --index-only 0.76s user 1.65s system 6% cpu 38.871 total So it takes 38s on a *very small* installation. My experience is that all FreeBSD ports tools are incredibly slow, be it portupgrade, portmaster, even the basic tools like pkg_version. Maybe it would help to recognize that such observations are perhaps not unrelated to the original poster comments. -- Michel TALON
