For some time now I've been using etcupdate on a self-hosting armv7 (RPi2) system. Lately, the runtime for etcupdate after a world/kernel update from source has seemingly more than doubled. It used to take less than one hour, now it's past two hours and not done yet. The last process is a series of c++ processes which take most of the added time. Apart from tracking -current the machine doesn't do much, but I didn install a /usr/ports directory recently though it's only been used to build named. The slowdown in etcupdate seems to have appeared following that change. Might the addition of a ports tree have increased etcupdate's run time, and is there in any case some housecleaning that will speed it up? Thanks for reading, bob prohaskahome | help
