It runs slower, but I'm not sure how noticeably so on recent hardware. This is a good question though, if you didn't have a build environment available (say on an embedded linux distro), but you had a full emacs, would you have everything you need to get a byte compiled org-mode? the same in the git version? Is it just a matter of running byte-compile-file on everything in org's lisp directory, and getting it all to the right spot. (load path and info path). Obviously we'll leave aside the refcards in a limited environment, which take LaTeX to build.
