Some figures:

rpi4b on stable/13-n254900-a836dce6d085
8GB ram, dev.cpu.0.freq: 2100
/tmp is a tmpfs. usb3-connected hd, zfs

updating ports tree with git -C /usr/ports pull --ff-only
git pull --ff-only started on Wed Mar 29 10:56:06 BST 2023
git pull --ff-only completed on Wed Mar 29 11:01:17 BST 2023

git in state of 'uwait' in top

[00:01:04] Inspecting ports tree for modifications to git checkout...

most of the time in uwait, then zio->i

[00:08:59] Ports top-level git hash: 5f32c6225

so, 7 mins 55s from poudriere starting inspecting the ports tree to 
completing it.

Is this expected? have only noticed the delay recently.
