Good point. Office2000 is like that too. We know Mozilla is slow

Yes, it is about 1 gig or more after compilation and takes a long time
(about 30 min. for me)

I don't know... possible problem? What do you triagers know about this? I
recommend going to irc.mozilla.org's #mozillazine to ask about this.
Or you could try searching on bugzilla.mozilla.org, but I couldn't find a
bug (you might have better luck if you search longer).

Yes: this is already an enhancement bug:

Possible RFE?
