I've found that much faster and cleaner way is to just remove whole /usr/local (preserving /usr/local/etc), and /var/db/pkg and then just install required ports, such process goes much faster. Also it removes all unused ports. As for ports number, it is really crazy, I have 1435 ports for notebook used as usual desktop and as multi-purpose development machine. PS. I am on i386, so can't say anything about amd64 specific performance problems. --=20 Vladimir B. Grebenschikov vova@fbsd.ru
