Antergos vs. Fedora vs. Ubuntu vs. openSUSE vs. Debian 9 vs. Clear Linux For Early 2017
For timed compilation, Debian 9 Testing was the fastest while Clear Linux is the slowest at compilations due to its default CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS.
Fedora 25 secured a win with the C-Ray multi-threaded ray-tracer.
More narrow wins for Clear Linux with the Stockfish and Crafty chess engines.
And toss in MP3 encoding with LAME too.
While openSUSE had a very close win with FFmpeg.
