Isnt that often a reason touted by Gentoo users as to why they love
portage because they can shave a few milliseconds by rolling their own?
Gentoo evolved, to my understanding, partly because there was a gcc which
compiled something faster. So, when gentoo was first on the scene, that
gcc compiled ______ better than other distro's, which gave better
performance. Now everyone uses the same gcc and that benefit isn't
really there anymore.
