unless you've mined the ore yourself and invented your own polymers you 
can't rebuild your laptop and expect top performance ;-)  It also seems 
that most gentoo users (at least the loud public ones) need to USE drugs 
to control themselves rather than use flags.

I suppose if you had 20 workstations and a bunch of servers you wanted 
to run at top speed using really high quality hardware and sharing the 
build process gentoo would be worth it but I just can't see how the 
trade off in compilation time can be worth it on one machine.

By the time something like KDE is installed a new version is out. 
That's why I like apt.  I can get a working binary within 24 hours of 
the build server getting the source.  And I know I won't have to give up 
a massive chunk of processing power to get it working.\
