Wow, those are the most silly benchmarks I've ever seen. Really... Whoever this guy is (didn't bother to find out) he's actually testing the kernel, and the differences you see are just by accident (assuming the kernel was the same, which is very likely...).
How do you test a GUI by compiling lame?!?!? WTF? You could test the startup time of the desktop, or the startup time of applications, or the responsiveness by trying to figure out how fast they redraw (tough one, btw, would be cool to see) but running a commandline tool (when the gui happens to be running)???
