I am curious about the hardware that Gentoo ran faster and the way the
slower distros were made.

One should probably begin with the packages listed as
build-essential.
In case the discussion here will be short I would try to raise it on
debian-devel. I also believe that one should define the frame work
first. In order to make this discussion targets a large audience and
also probably to make things simpler I would assume that the frame work
is that there is no option to cross compile. There fore, a minimal
binary Debian system to begin with is unavoidable.

Never tried Gentoo.
