Maybe that feeling was always false? ;-)

That was one of (and continues to be one of) the jokes about Gentoo, 
isn't it?  :-)

"I've optimized my entire operating system by building from source, and 
it only took my processor a week at 100% CPU to do it!"

Or similar... Heh heh...

Not picking on Gentoo fans, just saying ... the distro's kernels are 
"pretty good" and definitely beat the 80/20 rule these days... unless 
you have a piece of hardware that's not working right...
