Newbi question regarding pkg command.

Hi, I am a long time Linux user trying TrueOs for the first time. As this is a new install I am using pkg a lot to get familiar applications in place.
The problem is every time I run pkg it first updates the repository catalog which takes several minutes (up to 10) . This happens even though the repository was just updated perhaps 20 minutes earlier.
I have read the man page but didn't see any way to prevent this. Is there some way to suppress the catalog update?
 
Once upon a time... I installed PC-BSD. As far as I remember, users were supposed to install new applications via
"AppCafe". So maybe if you use AppCafe instead of installing via pkg you would be faster? Just a hunch from
times long gone.... O:‑)
