Where did that bit of apocrypha come from, and why is it
parroted by so many people?

Depending on what you do with the system it still can
be quite true. For example, there is a known bug in
the RH distro of Perl that leaves it running 10x slower
than a locally compiled version. There

It used to make a difference, but not anymore with today microprocessors.

It is not just about higher performance.
The same way you can have higher performance, the same way you can use
less flags and less optimizations for a solid/stable system.
You are just not bounded (most of the times) to fixed choices others
doing for you.
