Most shells won't allow an argument list that long.

has been shown to be faster than hacking around arg list limits with

xargs.
The following may prove to be even faster as it fills the shell argument
list as full as possible for each execution of grep.
% find /usr/ports -depth 3 -name pkg-plist -exec grep libfoobar.so \{} +
