I've tried to speedup gentoo with some tricks on boottime to but the bootsystem is somewhat static so that it is not possible to improve much.
don't get me wrong the parallel booting and so on sure are fine ... but right now they just aren't so new anymore as they were 3 Jears ago.

Over the 6 years that I've been running Gentoo, I've had to install exactly two times (once for each computer I've had during this time).
With the Ubuntu way, I would have had to reinstall 24 times -- twice a year, corresponding to the regular Ubuntu release schedule.
So the compile time needed the first time you install the distro is a moot point -- since it's a rolling distro, you only need to do it once.
I understand that some Gentoo script kiddies come off as abrasive and annoying and condescending, but do try to pick the right arguments.

If you don't do any rolling upgrades in Gentoo for six months does that count as an "re-install"? What if a person runs development builds and continuously rolls with them, is each one a re-install?

So I have to wait 6-8 months each time to install the new goodies? Too harsh for my taste.
