Description
The port list command is amazingly slow. It seems like too much processing is occurring. I'd supply a patch but I don't know Tcl and I don't have time to learn it.
Here's an example:
port list py24*

That's because port list runs Portfiles. If you just want the names, you can use port echo instead. See wiki:FAQ#portlist.
Unfortunately, there is no magic switch to flip to make executing Portfiles much faster :(
