Sounds like portupgrade is building an INDEX file. You'll see a message about running 'portsdb -Uu' if it is. What you've seen is pretty much the expected impact I'd expect from doing that. You should be able to download a recently build INDEX file by running # make fetchindex before starting your portupgrade -- it's about 6Mb. After doing that portupgrade will only need to run 'portsdb -u' which is a lot lighter weight. Although if your system can build the INDEX file in 5 minutes, you might as well let it do that. Takes more like 20 minutes on my machine.
