for anyone reading - the fix was to stop zfsd, turn it off in rc.conf and reboot

# date && git pull --ff-only -q && date
Thu Mar 30 08:35:01 BST 2023

[00:00:26] Ports supports: FLAVORS SELECTED_OPTIONS
[00:00:26] Inspecting ports tree for modifications to git checkout... yes
[00:01:36] Ports top-level git hash: 53eab2d0cfd

much better! :D

later discovered slow disk access was showing in other areas too, like 
when locate updatedb runs. So it wasn't a git issue but a zfs one.
Maybe it's an issue that looms large only on modest systems.
