UserData also contains the generated bitmaps fonts (the .pk) files.
If your document uses such bitmap fonts they will have to be
recreated at the first compilation after the log-in (dvips or
pdflatex trigger the creation) and then goes to the fonts folder. In
older times - when documents used a lot bitmaps - this would have
slowed down the first compilation a lot and would be certainly a
nuisance. But today normally documents not longer use bitmaps (if
you have installed the cm-super fonts) so I wouldn't care.
