Ways to possibly speed up package builds:

  * Faster hardware. Currently using 96GB of RAM and 24 cores. Could go to 512GB RAM and 64 cores, but there are concerns we don't scale that well there.
  * Cleanup - Getting rid of duplicate versions of large packages such as multiple llvm ports, multiple gcc ports, multiple openoffice ports, multiple webkit ports, etc.
  * Only rebuild things if libraries they are linked to have change
  * Avoid installing runtime deps when making packages -- has impacts on meta ports, needs work, see [[https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/blob/master/TODO.md#replace-dependencies-by-dep-formula|Replace dependencies by dep formula]]
