Obviously, you don't know anything about what Gentoo is actually about. CFLAGS and compile settings are the least of it. Gentoo's system is about flexibility and configurability, through the ability to set compile-time flags on any package to use features you wish. Portage offers the ability to do quick "default" installs using your global settings, or override them for specific packages. You can tune the features of your system, not just the speed. Combined with a very easy to use interface, this makes installing packages set to your specifications quick and painless.
You can find more actual information at the Gentoo website. I suggest having facts before you comment.
