Brilliant! I really like this one:

   To me, an extra 0.1% performance increase, even if I am only
   imagining it to be faster, is certainly worth one day a week
   recompiling all of the latest packages from source code. Even
   if I do occasionally get my CFLAGS in a muddle!

And this one pretty much echos my feelings:

   Real Gentoo users understand, it's not about
   OPTIMILAZIATIONS, it's about USE flags.

Apparently I'm one of the "people who think Gentoo rules
because they can't use RPM properly".
