Hi Gerhard!

One of the main reasons Gentoo users claim for their system is the
performance boost by optimized compilations for their platform. But if
you look at the official Gentoo benchmark page - first official attempt
to make the subjective user's impression of performance gains countable,
other comparison charts are to be found using google - you will see that
the most significant improvement comes from prelinking. That is my
impression from the data on

http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/performance.xml

See yourself. The other speed values are on a level where I suspect you
will not feel any difference in general. Fedora uses prelinking.

Regards

Alexander
