I didn't checked it with a watch, but it seems much faster in every aspect.

don't forget that:
the OS was compiled from source to the cpu type
I had control to what libraries I should compile in the package.

The only thing that bother me is how robust is the portage system, is it
good enough to Servers ? ( I mean while updating, resolving dependencies )
Probably time will tell
