As I understand it, Prelinking in particular, Also There are scheduler
hacks, neither of which wine and cedega deal very well with.
Other things..
     0.) Performance patches from Con Kolivas, i686 2.6.7 kernel, reiserfs
    1.) All original sources, minimal patches.
    2.) Compiled with i686 against latest gcc
    3.) Stripping
    4.) Prelinking
    5.) Latest gcc and glibc and other sources
    6.) Keep everything only dependent to what it really needs not what
    the ./configure happens to find.
    7.) Hdparm on install 

(that was from their own site)

Its nothing that Gentoo isn't.. except a damn site easier to install..

But thats not what put me off it the most.. it was their attitude..
