Thank > you for your patch, the second attempt seems to work fine on my system. So far I've got a 20% performance increase, not really satisfying. The trouble is that for every dependency the whole bsd.port.mk and whatever else is pulled in by the dependency has to be parsed again. So the only way to make a significant improvement is to have a short bsd.port.mk.
