[clue-tech] Gentoo benchmarks

[Jason Ash]

Hi, I haven't got a chance to run my own benchmarks yet, and I
couldn't figure out how to use the Phoronix Test Suite, but here's a
Web site that has benchmarks comparing Gentoo to Ubuntu:
http://www.zerofsck.org/2008/11/09/gentoo-x86_64-vs-ubuntu-810-x86-using-phoronix-test-suite/
Also see http://global.phoronix-test-suite.com/?k=profile&u=unlotto-14170-30794-27091
for his updated benchmarks. Gentoo seems faster on my Pentium 4
desktop that I have dual booted with Kubuntu, but it also seems
subject to breakage because I was trying to install Gentoo with KDE4
on my laptop, and python sip ran into some problems (now resolved) see
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300517. Thanks, Jason.
