It scales with the number of files installed by the ports that changed since
the last binary database update. So, if you're, for example, updating boost and
qt4-mac, I'd expect it to take a while.

That being said, I've seen sub-par sqlite performance recently, so maybe you're
hit by that? It usually fixes itself with the next "port" process you start,
though.
