And you address the one I had in mind by using the same kernel on all three machines in your "revisited" article.
But to suggest, as the original article did, that "these distributions are faster than Gentoo" is NOT empirical when the distros tested have such a glaring difference between them. As you know, the Gentoo-sources (with pre-empt patches) kernel was tested in the original article against another with Redhat's patch-set.
