My experience is that -arp will build all of the ports from source that needs building but it will (re)build all of the packages. The price for using the generic "a". On the slow machine, I wouldn't use pkg_add but portupgrade -Pa. There are some ports that you can't build packages and have to build from the source. So, if you have a package in /usr/ports/packages/All, portupgrade will use it but if you need to build it from source, it will also do that.
