I don't know about low-power laptops, but on my low-power desktop
(Fedora 15, AMD Phenom II X4 910e, 65W 2.6 GHz), "make install"
takes 21 seconds real-time without compression, and
44 seconds with compression.
I install without compression by using the shell command
"make GZIP_PROG= install". That's pretty simple; do we
need a configure-time option too?
We could speed up "make install" considerably by
parallelizing it better, but that's a different topic.
