>Why does make clean take so long?

Normally "make clean" in the top-level /usr/ports directory cleans
all dependant ports for every port, so it ends up repeating the
make clean for some ports lots of times. Since you know that you
are going to be cleaning every port anyway, you can speed things
up quite a bit by setting the "NOCLEANDEPENDS" make variable, e.g:

	cd /usr/ports
	make NOCLEANDEPENDS=1 clean

See "man 7 ports" for other useful ports-related settings.
