Hi Agustin, The packages are compiled with compiler opimisation turned on. So I don't expect speed improvements with self-compiled binaries. In terms of storage efficiency, it may be an advantage that by compiling yourself you can only include what you need (e.g. grass, postgis, gsl, expat, georeferencer, gpx, wfs are optional).

After solving few problems related to the OS (Xandros vs ubuntu-eeee) thanks to the kind help of many people, I'm now about trying to install QGIS on the eeepc 901 running ubuntu-eee instead of its original Xandros (I'll tell why in a future and more comprehensive message). Before starting (this afternoon), one question: In terms of efficiency of the resulting QGIS, is it better that I compile myself on the eee-pc or would I get similar performance by installing the ubuntu binaries? In other words, does it pay in terms of efficiency the (for me considerable) complexity of compiling myself? Note that this is a tiny machine, thus any improvement could be important in the long term, so I'm kind of resigned myself to the involved task of compiling if you think that I ought to.
