It got the list to wake up :D

If the emerge process involved a -O3 setting on compilation I would say
gentoo provided value over other methods. As it is it merely provides
source distribution for end user compilation. So I get more work with the
same outcome. I can get similar performance with binary package
installation from any reasonably managed distro.

All that said, I'm now having fantasies of an -O3 iteratively compiled
gcc/glibc HPC platform.

and fantasies of the budget to buy the hardware to run it on :-}  I'm
thinking four 16 core 2.8GHz Opterons with 1TB RAM would be a good starting
point.

Sigh
