Well, if it's not compile optimizations then I don't know what it is. In both Mandrake and Gentoo I've got dma enabled on my harddrives, the same number of services are running, fam's enabled...Both I login using kdm - and I know Mandrake starts the X server early and starts other services in the background, but even if I wait 10 minutes and then login, Gentoo is still faster. You got to remember it's the whole system that has been optimized, not just KDE.
If anyone else has any other suggestions as to why this is happening, please share.
