poudriere builds pkg updates first (if needed) and then uses the pkg it
built for building the later ports into packages.

But, after the restarts of main-* builds, the FreeBSD build servers are
still showing examples were, after an 1hr, some builds are still in
build-depends. Also there was an example I saw were after 1.5 hr it was
still in run-depends.

It may be that things are improved but not fully fixed relative to
some performance issues.
