Ok - thanks. 2.HEAD - has this been included in the CentOS repository yet?
It doesn't look to even be in the CentOSPlus repos.
I believe CentOS only has 2.6
Using the packaged software is fine if you are willing to accept the compromises that have been made. RHEL 5 is based off of packages that were available when Fedora Core 6 was out (between October 2006 and May 2007). CentOS 5, of course uses the RHEL packages.
If you want performance, (or features, or compatibility) added in newer releases of software (be it Squid, Sendmail, openldap, etc.) you are going to have to compile it yourself.
