This is true (well, 1-2 hours). However, the reason for this is that portsnap builds ports INDEX files, and since portsnap is usually more up-to-date than the INDEX files fetched by "make fetchindex", the lag time is probably less of a problem than one might imagine at first. That said, the build times should be improving somewhat as I move portsnap builds to some new hardware in the near future. > - setting up a mirror is still undocumented I'm working on it; but for most users, a caching HTTP proxy will be far better than an actual portsnap mirror.
