^^^^^^^^^^^
Using the 'f' flag can be expensive if there are a large number of
ports installed and the machine in question is not relative fast.
When using 'portupgrade', I commonly use the '-r' flag in conjunction
with the previously discussed '-a' flag. While not as through as the
"-u -p" flags with 'portmanger', it does accomplish its goal.
