I got into and out of that habit very quickly, because I've got so many
FreeBSD boxes, and because I tend to compile on my fast machines and
transfer elsewhere, so if I did that, I'd have to do it on all my
machines.

FYI, if you're running the client on a PPro, compile your own client!
While the precompiled clients are 33% faster on P5s, the stock i486-gcc
target is over 10% faster on P6s.
