On toy systems, maybe. I've got 654 ports installed on the machine I'm typing this on, and I assure you that it's much, much faster to selectively upgrade a few of them rather than starting over from scratch.

I think you overlooked one important thing in the original post, and in my post as well: We are talking about upgrading the entire system, not just a few ports.

Upgrading a few ports is faster using portupgrade, yes.
