My suggest is not related with power. On most hardwares, the compilation takes a lot of time. I mean increasing make nice value would make it more user friendly. If you don't use your computer, the compilation process will require the same time as without this tweak. If you want to use it, you will really be allowed to use it (Currently, the default compilation settings slow-down my computer).

This depends, it can go from 15-20 minutes to over 4 hours. A company in Israel has built a 8000 Ghz (Not a typo, it's Ghz) processor, that may take it down to a few seconds.
