OK, I ran my own test doing an rpmbuild of a custom kernel.
This is being pitched as a "big gain for the desktop user". How many desktop users build a kernel? Where is the gain in the typical desktop usage pattern?
It's about the only file-intensive, fairly long-running, repeatable task I do on my system, and I don't do it often enough to really care how long it takes (within reason). And, if you actually read the rest of my message, you'll see I didn't find anything to pitch as a "big gain," or indeed, any gain.
