do you think it is difficult to zypper source-install <package> ?
Ummm... How would you know whether or not building from source would have a noticeable benefit for me?
Im in fact, sure it doesnt, except for some very specific components, different compiler options and optimization levels have already being tried with only a marginal _overall_ improvement.
