But to make up for it, the resulting makefiles:
- support running compilation processes in parallel.
- compile most Elisp files with a compiled (rather than interpreted)
  byte-compiler.
so the overall compilation time can be significantly shorter, especially if
your machine is multiprocessor.

Yes, that's absolutely true, even if you take into account the time for `configure' and `make install'. It's awesome. Many thanks to Eli and everyone.
