> About 40 percent.  Below is the result of `time make install':

> real    30m45.598s
> user    3m51.413s

> --without-compress-el

> real    17m5.293s
> user    1m59.270s
> sys     6m43.657s

I would think that the only relevant percentage is of total
compile+install time, since it's rather rare to install repeatedly
without compiling.

Or maybe I don't understand the intended use case (I can't remember the
last time I ran "make install" to tell you the truth).
