ld flag that gives ~40% startup time boost

With gentoo it's largely in the users' hands. They can build the base
tarball with whatever switches they like, but by the time it comes
round to updates of the system, a lot of core things will be updated
and compiled with your global make.conf options.

On a sidenote, I'm rather fond of -O3 where it works (sqlite, for
example), but i typically go -O2 for most of my compiles.

Obviously start up speed is a big factor, it's what everyone whines
about, and I mean everyone.
