Of course the server load makes a significant difference.  But I still
think your hypothesis may have the cause and the effect interchanged.
The reason the server is loaded is because the clients are taking
a long time.  And the reason the clients are taking a long time is
because every file in ports needs an update.  So naturally your update
is going to take longer, and it would take longer even if you had the
server all to yourself.
