This isn't easily discernible to me, but other things that can help here are: * using --no-refresh and --no-index with all of the install commands * using --no-index with all of the install commands * executing a single 'pkg rebuild-index' after all install and uninstall operations have completed Cheers, -- Shawn Walker
