So much longer to update than install fresh (+ no install feedback)

At first, I have tried to "freebsd-update -r 14.0-BETA3 upgrade" my 13.2 release (quite experimental install).



I did not knew if I was supposed to go from 13.2 to BETA1, then BETA2, then BETA3... I still don't know.



But after seeing it not showing anything for about 10 mins while showing "Installing updates..." I concluded

something was going wrong, and interrupted it (reboot).



I did take back the command, let it go for about 2.5h, and then done the same thing (stop it by force).



The thing is that doing an install of 13.2 take about 10-15 mins. And so I am not much expecting so long without

feedback for an upgrade. I have tried to "pkg-static -f upgrade" packages before the end of "freebsd-update -r something upgrade" (gone bad, all command missing some file),

that I never seen succeed from 13.2. Even after reinstalling 13.2 and trying to upgrade to 14.0-BETA1, I was never patient enough to finish it.



I had gone to 13 from 12, where I was upgrading at each BETA release that way.



I don't really know if 13.2 take much more time than 12 was to upgrade...



At the end I was having a feedback with "ps a" on an other terminal... seeing most of the time an install command,,, sometime ungzip.



Wish the upgrader would show something like: "(54/23416 updates) llvm 15.2 (15/4600 files)" or maybe just: "54/23416 updates".
