The thing is, that everything is compiled specifically for your system
by your system. Almost the only things that get installed are the things that you need for your system. If done right this is very powerful as it supposedly leaves you with the most up-to-date uber-optimized system. But this proces does take some time.
To be honest wether it is worth it is up to you. I mainly use gentoo because of it's very good package system which keeps my system up-to-date as easy as 1.2.3. I could have used debian for this as well, but I like the 'compiled especially for me' part and I had the time for it.
