Building some source is probably not so bad if you use the "source +
built packages" distribution. Then, you're justing building the C core,
and all the Racket code and documentation is pre-built.

For a smaller install, try the Minimal Racket "source + built packages"
distribution, then install the packages that you need. Again, the
packages should install in built form, so installation should be quick.
