Or, if you are like me and want to run Slackware like it were a "pretend" Gentoo distribution, you could install the a packages and d packages (and nothing else), then build all the other desired packages from the source directory, with your own optimizations in the SlackBuild scripts. ;-)
P.S. You might have to install the l packages as well. Be advised that a source install may be an all-day affair.
