Could also be the fastest, as it works at the lowest level, closest to the hardware (just copies bits from the CD/DVD to the harddrive).

Laziness is relative ... one co-worker will spend 3-4 hours working on a shell script to automate something that would take 15 minutes to do manually ... just so he never has to do it manually again in the future. Even if it's something he'd only do twice a year.
