I have never used a binary version (rpm or tar)
as I use slackware. Both PHP and Mysql have been recently added
to the distribution.So I have been using src all the time.

U'll certainly have some performance gain by
compiling the src.
But the default Redhat 7.1's php distribution is very good.
It is ready out of box for every thing.
GD, Mysql, IMAP etc. You don't just have to configure anything.
