If you really want it fast, you can put almost everything into the main script and have the 'su' script just call 'make install'.
I think you are assuming that compiling is done as lfs user and install is done as root. That is the normal case, but it's not like that for package users technique. BTW, I'm curious why just doing the install in an su script instead of the whole package in and su script should be faster? As long as you don't increase then number of su's then it should make no difference whether the bulk of commands come before or after the su (unless you have a very long PATH for one of the users and shell hashing off). And anyway, doing an su is not all that slow compared to the time of a build. I mean I have not seen an autoconf configure script complete in less than 6 seconds on my box and there's no way su takes anywhere near even 1 second.
