Now what are the others? I sometimes help out with arch testing. I don't like having all the deps and packages installed even if I don't use them. So I usually quickpkg the and unmerge them. Advantage is: if I have to archtest a package tomorrow that needs one of the deps I merged today I don't have to recompile it. On slower archs, this really helps.
