Re: [SLUG] Benefits of source distro (Gentoo) somewhat elusive :-)

This is an interesting POV. We currently have about 40 Linux boxes in 
high load production environments, and racking my brian I can't think of 
a scenario where a 0.1% increase in performance (for performance alone 
not considering interoperability or security for example) would be worth 
 more than a very quick update.

Perhaps you could give us some examples in the real world?

Some times this is not possible, that even a 0.1% increase in
performance is worth it.
