Howdy, Theo -- A quick note about RPM. The preferred workflow is to compile from source *at package build time*; this does not impact installation-time performance. Using this workflow allows RPMs to have patches applied; to track metadata on those patches, and to allow the end-user to see exactly what source, and exactly which patches, went into what they're installing.
