Except that you can use the system while it is recompiling. I switched to
using Stage 3 installs about three years ago, it's so much easier and
gives you a working system in under an hour. The fact that it spends the
next day or two recompiling in the background, at a nice level of 19,
doesn't detract from that at all.
