Subject:   How often portupgrades?

Just wondering what a good rule of thumb is in how often to run =
portupgrades.

I figure that once a week should be sufficient, however each time it =
runs it can take up to a few hours to complete which seems like an =
unnecessary hassle to me. Once it even started rebuilding the complete =
gnome port which took a couple days!

Is this worthwhile? What are the benefits?

Thanks alot in advance.
