manifesto
funroll-loops.org is the spiritual home of every Linux user who has ever
told you their kernel is faster than yours. We collect quotes, observations,
and field notes about the people who optimize their /etc/portage/make.conf
more often than they back up their data — affectionately, of course.
Whether you came here because you genuinely do recompile world weekly,
or because you wanted to read about the people who do, you're welcome.
Just don't tell us about your USE flags.
