M-x gr TAB

-> grep is the default, so you just need to hit ENTER (grep-find is the
   only other candidate).  5 keystrokes (6 if you use ESC x for M-x as I
   do).  I know I could type `grep' instead of `gr TAB' but I'm used to
   TAB-completion.

M-x co TAB

-> about 50 candidates, can't hit ENTER, need to type the whole word
   `compile'.  10-11 keystrokes.

This is why I bind `compile' to a key, personally.
