In defense of
Normally I'd let this slide but you're testing different kernels here.
Cent0S is using 2.6.32: You're comparing it against Ubuntu 12.04 when you should be comparing it against Ubuntu 10.04.
At best, you should be comparing against Slackware 13.1 (2.6.34) and so on....
Linux 3.5 has made so many changes to the Ext4 file-system I wouldn't even know where to start talking about performance in relation to your test criteria.
Another thing about Slackware is that if you choose the default -- install everything -- then most likely you got the HUGE Kernel compiled i486.
You'd basically have to check /boot/vmlinuz to see where it's symlink'd to.
To recap: Cent0S 6.2 -> Ubuntu 10.04 [ 2.6.32 kernel ]
Cent0S 6.2 -> Slackware 13.1 [ never used the .32 stable ]
....
Respectfully,.

Download a stage 3 tarball and extract it to a new chroot location, put the results of those commands into your C(XX)FLAGS in your make.conf, chroot, and start building your tablet system on the desktop as you normally would. When your done building everything, boot the tablet off a USB stick or something and rsync with the chroot on the desktop.

The genkenrel takes a while to compile, but custom kernels go pretty fast. (hundreds of modules vs a dozen)

Looking at the image of system specifications it is at least two different systems (e.g. different sound cards?), making the comparison bogus and the tester suspect.
Why not run the benchmarks and distros on the same system?

One BDFL and a team of many.
Now maybe everybody can hush and support one distribution. Thanks for the tests!
