Really portupgrade becomes clearly not so usable for me after I
switch to Xorg 7.2RC which install 300 more packages, my workstation
is a xSeries 226 with a Xeon 2,8Ghz 1Go DDR2. So I can imagine what
it does on a laptop...
This issue is not only related to portupgrade, pkg_add a new port
takes far too long now... and make index each time I upgrade my ports
is awfull too.

Just a "me too". I noticed a huge increase in time for portupgrade
when I
started using the modular Xorg ports tree and upgraded to X.org
7.2RC. The
number of installed ports on my machine went from just over 300 to
well
over
600 as a result of the upgrade. Specifying small numbers of ports
(without
globbing) to portupgrade doesn't seem to take much more time,
but "portupgrade -a" or anything similar takes forever now. If
there is an
optimization to be made there it would be good to do it before
modular
xorg
hits the official tree.

I've also had this problem. I have found that if I perform a
"portsdb -U &&
pkgdb -F" every time following a cvsup that portupgrade doesn't try
to go
through the full ports indexing steps again.
It is still slow, and any improvement that can be made should be.
It is
already a significant enough pain that most ports build in a
shorter amount
of time than it takes portupgrade to update its database.
