As efficiency freak I would say yes. Everyone should benefit from
-march=native -O2 CFLAGS, so hardware consumes less power for the same
performance. That was what this project was once about, speed. Since I
am also compiling it for MIPS and ARM (Raspberry Pi) it really doesn't
take that long ;)
Regarding updates, obviously it could take a while if a user in Linux
From Scratch style should manually upgrade all their packages opposed to
a distribution wide upgrade were nobody has a clue what happened or what
changed (which by itself raises new questions). There is no general
solution for this problem.
Well, there is a solution - use packages. That's what every sane person
says. The vast majority of people, myself included, don't have time to
keep recompiling everything. I'll take a small performance hit for this
convenience any day, and I'm sure almost all users would. You may be
the exception that proves the rule. :-)
