The disk space required seems to be 1.5G. It compiles pretty
quickly on my 3600 Mhz quad-core. I don't know if that is
a fast or slow computer, it seems fast to me but at the same
time I would be surprised if I have the faster computer
out there.

One thing I know tho, Emacs, with native compilation, is
certainly fast enough for me!

As for the package aspect which you seem to return to over and
over, I must admit I have not thought of that in connection to
the compile-manually-or-not issue, so I leave that without
comments ;)
