Two further small reasons against install time .el compilation of large packages: 1. I have to install .el sources even when I don't need them. 2. Slow installation.
The first is a problem on computers with limited disk space (e.g. my laptop). The second is the problem when I perform major upgrade. I can go to get some koffee during unpacking packages, but then I have/want to answer some installation questions. If things like gnus was compiled during this procedure, I'd be angry (things like texhash and menu/manpage updates on background are annoying enough already).
