Pretty vanilla recent 15.1 install on a Thinkpad X220. pkg used to work until now. Today `pkg update` always aborts at 76% in "processing entries". Fully repeatable.

Code: 
% pkg update
Updating FreeBSD-ports repository catalogue...
Fetching meta.conf: 100%     179 B   0.2 kB/s    00:01    
Fetching data: 100%   539 MiB   2.9 MB/s    03:16    
Processing entries:  76%
Unable to update repository FreeBSD-ports
Updating FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository catalogue...
FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository is up to date.
Error updating repositories!

Is it normal that it downloads half a gigabyte? This is very slow both in fetching data and in processing entries (1 CPU at 100%).

Thinks I tried:
- nuke /var/db/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-ports ==> no change
- deinstall all packages ==> no change

Thread 'FreeBSD 14.4 - pkg is slow to update database'

So I have just installed FreeBSD 14.4-release-p7 (ok, I installed 14.4-release and used freebsd-update to get to -p7) on a new partition on the SSD of my workstation.
And suddenly, pkg is slow to update it's database (the "processing entries" part), fetching takes a little less than ten seconds, but look at this
Code: 
root@kg-core2:~ # time pkg upgrade -n
