On my -CURRENT system with 1572 ports installed, I decided to give pkg-devel (pkg-1.3.0.b2) a try.
Using portmaster, I observe very significant increases in the time required to check which ports to upgrade. With pkg-devel: # time portmaster -a ===>>> Gathering distinfo list for installed ports ===>>> Starting check of installed ports for available updates ===>>> All ports are up to date ===>>> Exiting real 13m43.057s (= 823s) user 0m44.465s sys 1m20.432s The same command with pkg-1.2.7 needs less than 20% of the real time to run: real 2m30.298s (= 150s) user 0m39.246s sys 1m11.392s It may be too early to expect pkg-1.3 to be optimized for speed, but I just wanted to report this regression ... Since the CPU times are not so different, it appears that the amount of disk I/O is much higher with pkg-devel. It might be possible to optimize the database structure or to cache larger parts of the package DB in RAM (size is some 100MB on my system).
