pros/cons of installing from source

Hi
I would like to know whether installing from source rather than from the repositories has any advantage in terms of performance or something else. I didn't notice any difference when comparing mplayer's behavior, although compiling it myself gave me the choice of fine tuning the available codecs as well as installing the very latest version, for instance.
Thanks
