mythfrontend takes an extra 100MB of hard drive space at most (and
that's probably a /hugely/ conservative estimate). Your Myth box
processes multi-gigabyte, so do you really have any reason to save that
100MB?
Once installed, you do /not/ need to run mythfrontend all the time--just
run it when you want to use the settings portion.
