But it's well known that 2.6 had some serious performance work done on it, so the consistent 5% improvement I'm obsering in real time performance which is made up of many other things that don't benefit from improvements in python optimization, is actually quite significant. I don't think it's because I compiled it locally, as the binary packages are also compiled with the same or better optimizer options (despite the fact that people that waste time with gentoo would like to think they get better optimized code, the fact is most of the time they don't)
