This is the main thing that bugs me - the programs tested were built
with no more opimizations than any other distribution uses (-O2 is
extremely common).
Another good analysis of the 'gentoo approach' would have been trends
based - if I set gnome in my USE flags, how will the featureset of my
entire system change over time? Can such features be added and removed
on the fly in other distributions? (probably not)
