I've found the only way to shorten the time is to install the binary 
package.

It normally takes a couple of hours to build on my systems when I use 
the Ports, which I don't mind. I do have some systems that were not well 
configured for space when they were installed, and building Rust on 
these consumes all the disk space during the build phase. For these, I 
just upgrade from binary and I'm done with it. Takes all of 2 minutes.

Mark.
