Sort of. libc is the other thing that can affect performance. However,
any distribution worth its salt will provide a selection of optimal
kernel and libcs because of this.

The effort of building a custom kernel and libc is probably
worthwhile, but beyond that you should probably spend your efforts
elsewhere other than recompiling stuff for the sake of it. Gentoo's
performance improvements from recompiling the world are usually more
psychological than practical.

I thought they were talking about cheap whores - smelly, ugly, brightly
coloured, waste of money, and got a cock inside them most of the time.
