It's normal.  Re-using scan results will improve performance if there 
aren't many changes, but for example devel/gmake was touched in the last 
few days and that will cause pretty much everything to be recomputed, 
and you won't see any difference in runtime.

As always, by far the best way to improve scan time is to increase the 
number of scan processes.
