I have not tested this nor seen data on this, but I'd look for
comparisons on the efficiency and gains from gcc optimizations. These
would be what benefits source-based distros on a specific system
compared to binary distros, and a benchmark made with gcc will be
simpler and easier to deal with than an os-wide benchmark.
