I cannot really recommend what I'm using and I certainly don't
consider this advice but I'm happy to share it. Note that in general I
tend to keep use flags limited in make.conf and then add them to
packages I emerge.
The processor is an Intel i7-980x, ATI 5770 VGA.
I think this conversation could result in interesting learning. (For
me anyway!) If there are things that improve performance then we'd all
like to be better educated.
Cheers,
Mark
