I am running Gentoo Linux with mad CFLAGS. It is the best distro.

Well, good for you if you got everything to compile, although most of the more volatile (read: poorly-written) packages override user CFLAGS now, I think. I'm happy with "-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" myself, but the ability to customize is one of the many benefits of Free software.
Now let's see how long before someone posts "LOL GENTOO RICER FAGS FUNROLL-LOOPS CFLAGS JUST KICKED IN."

NO UR THE NOOB WE UES CFLAGS U JUST USE BINARY PAKAGES THAT ARE FOR THIRYT OLD COMPUTARS WITH SPEED LIMITS WHIEL I GO VROOM VROOM WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
You really know it... Arch Linux is the best distro available.
The speed of Gentoo, the simpleness of Slackware and a packagemanager that kicks ass. And the Arch Build System for tweaking existing packages with custom build-options and stuff and creating new packages easily.
Yoohoo!
MY COMPLETELY OBSCURE LUNIX DISTROBATION IS LIKE SUPERIOR TO YOUR TOTALLY UNKNOWN DISTRO

I use Gentoo, and Netcraft confirms its popularity!

I host my server on Gentoo because it is fast. My lighttpd will smoke any crappy apache you got from a BINARY .deb!

My Gentoo Solitaire is faster than your BINARY piece of crap. I compiled it with -O9 -m64 -march=athlon64 -malign-double -funroll-all-loops -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-exceptions -fforce-mem -fforce-addr -fexpensive-optimizations -fmove-all-movables -fno-strength-reduce -mno-accumulate-outgoing-args .
You forgot -fno-rtti. Also, there are no optimization levels above -O3.
I'd also consider -fdata-sections and -ffunction-sections, my benchmarks have shown a slight speed increase. They may break compilation though, so don't use them then (or rather, fix the code, as it is likely wrong then).
