You can also increase the concurrency of "portsdb -U"/"make index" by
setting INDEX_JOBS in /etc/make.conf. The default number of parallel
jobs is 2. Increasing this to, say, 8, will save some time in building
the index.
You can save yourself a lot of headaches if you do a nightly cvsup via
cron and rebuild the index at that time.
