10 to 20% boost? Wow!

That *would* be worth switching to Gentoo for. Can you show me the 
graphs proving this?

What I can't figure out is how RedHat and Debian don't know about 
these magic compiler options.. (I mean, RedHat *employ* some of those 
GCC and libc hackers, I'm sure others are Debian users.. strange 
/they/ wouldn't know, isn't it?)
