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.
