Yes, Gentoo has great tool, portage which can build and install packages with your onw configuration. But I don't want Gentoo. I'm only wondering if is it a simple way to recompile some of the packages with optimalization. Believe or not, but it's a big difference, especially for X applications (I already recompiled many applications and test it on my computers). Faster start, less memory used. Other distributions often have packages for e.g i386/i586 or even i686. Why not try to do this with Debian? But sometimes it's hard (very hard) to pass flags to compiler.
If anyone is interested in optimalized packages, I can make a repository. Just let me know.
