Well if you install a package of 700 MB on a netbook with 4GB SSD you might 
not have any disk space to sacrifice.

How do you measure 10-15% speed ? If that is the increase of speed of the 
execution of optimized code then that speed increase might be blown away by 1 
network call this application performs.  I mean pure CPU speed is not that 
important except if it is an overall increase and not some increase in some 
part of the code.
