Using the -U option will build the ports INDEX file which can take a long time (and may be putting stress on your hardware). There is little reason to do this, though, since you can get a pre-made INDEX file online that is updated regularly.

To do this, use the -F option with portsdb instead. E.g.:
# portsdb -F
Or you could do:
# cd /usr/ports/ && make fetchindex
