Um, if you don't have 15 minutes to compile news, where are you
going to find time to READ news?!? Or administer it for that matter ...

The compile is the *easy* part. You still have to do all the site
specific stuff like build mailpaths, set up the sys file, and generate
an *up* *to* *date* active file (always fun :-) which takes a lot longer
than compiling the software.
