Yoper Linux V2 was released a few weeks ago (July 13, 2004). After reading the release announcement on Yoper's website, I decided I had to try it. Yoper claims that version V2 "is the fastest Out-of-the-Box Linux system in the World".

QUOTE:
Prelinking is a way to speed up loading of dynamic libraries because there is some overhead with locating these libraries.
Well, I sure hope he means locating symbols, not the libraries themselves (as prelink pretty much caches symbol lookup results), as per ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/prelink/prelink.pdf .
Also gentoo supports prelinking:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/prelink-howto.xml
And always strips packages by default unless you use
RESTRICT=nostrip
inside the ebuild, or add it to your FEATURES= in make.conf
As for optimizations, most likely Gentoo would provide more assuming you configured your make.conf correctly.
Not that I'm saying Gentoo is better, just that it shouldn't sound like this concept is unique...
