The reason that the -P check is slower is because it now checks not just for the presence of the port directory, but also that the port is hooked up to the ports tree. See https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/commit/2c84533f4d7291c26fe826a67217fb3c3ab= 446a5 So you've got a choice here: slow and unreliable versus even slower, but correct. Unfortunately the only way to extract version information from the ports involves running make(1) and that is intrinsically slow. > I suspect the slow-down is due to the overhead of the solver.

Personally I think the best experience to be had with pkgng is to use poudriere to set up your own local repo, and then use 'pkg version -R' This is actually a lot easier and simpler than you might think, and by separating the 'compile lots of ports' stage from the 'update what is running on my system' actions, it makes the required downtime considerably shorter.
