Depends how many machines you're using your poudriere packages to install to=
. The point of poudriere is that your poudriere server compiles the packages=
 with custom options that you want, and then acts as a package repository to=
 the rest of your computers. Thereby, you'll only be compiling your packages=
 once (unless you're dealing with different architectures, which is a whole o=
ther issue). So, if you only have one computer, it won't save you any time, b=
ut the time you save goes up exponentially with how many other computers of t=
he same architecture you have.
