I ran cvsup from 3.2-stable a number of times and it required a lot of
time (perhaps an hour) for the first time. It is always faster after
that.

Read the README in /usr/share/examples/cvsup because leaving the tag
off can increase your time drastically <grin>. I remember reading that
a bad tag deletes everything and then downloads nothing. You want to
run cvsup  stable-supfile and then run cvsup ports-supfile. They have
different tags and can't be run from the same cvsup command.
