I mean, it can be faster than your average distro on some scenarios. Mostly if you know your way in kernel config.
Though most of its real advantages are in the form of a lean system completely tailored to your needs.
It seems to me most of that Gentoo FUD comes from people that never even tried to install it or gave up because apparently reading a wiki is too hard for them.
Yeah, tools often have compiler-flags. For example, support for other software you have or don't want to have. It's the more simple alternative to autodetection during compile, like mpv does. For example, X11 vs. Wayland.
