I'm curious, and this is a serious question. What advantage are you
looking to gain by compiling locally, as opposed to using a
pre-packaged binary? Execution speed? File size? Customized compile
options? I usually always try and use packages whenever possible,
especially on an application that would be updated fairly frequently,
such as FireFox, etc.
