I have always compiled my own clients, simply because I end up with a client which is suited to the machine(s) I am running on, rather than a generic version. I have found that I do get improved performance and, generally, fewer problems.
It's not quite as easy as Ekoh's solution but I am happy to help anyone who is interested. My starting point was https://ryzomcore.atlassian.net/wiki/display/RC/Build+Source+on+L inux
and I have refined this to suit Ubuntu/Kubuntu releases, to build the client only, although I do build both client and server. I am also running under 14.01 currently
