I would have to agree. The performance gains in Gentoo tend to (In the |
7 |
Real World(tm) ) come from not having a bunch of crap instaled an |
8 |
running that hogs memory rather than from using a particular set of |
9 |
optimizing flags. Further, real-word servers ten to be built with some |
10 |
performance margin in order to handle load spikes, so a few percent |
11 |
here and there wouldn't really be measurable, assuming you compare to a |
12 |
system that isn't bloated. |
