I think you can't buy today a HD that is so low capacity that the
space used is a significant issue. In fact you're unlikely to find
such a HD in dumpster diving.

As for the time 'saved', while the compile is chugging along, use
whatever kernel is supporting the compile to also connect to the net and
contribute to some of the OT political discussions on this list ;-)
