I should add a ;-) I am just leery of being made a villain for having an opinon.
The real difference comes from the distro's default configuration. For instance at one point Red Hat installed with 100 processes running out of the box and Slackware at one point had only 30 running out of the box. Gentoo varies depending on the installation, but it certainly didn't have 100 when I started. Gentoo also uses some of the scheduler optimizations that some other distro's aren't using yet. I think these are the real reasons Gentoo works out better and seems faster/more responsive.
