Is it true that Gentoo is the fastest and most stable Linux distro you can use?

Yes.

Yes, but by a rather small amount. Source compiled distros will always be faster and more stable since all the binaries are compiled on and for your specific hardware. Problem is you have to take the time to compile everything.
Owen Howard
Whatever minuscule performance gains you get from compiler optimizations is a moot point in this day and age, I would argue that the key feature of Gentoo over other distros is in the package manager with its USE flags, being able to add or leave out whatever features or functionality you want to any given package. The power to build your entire system to your exact personal specifications from the ground up, that's the ultimate point of Gentoo -- a fact that all these retarded CloverOS shills can't appreciate.

but muh speed though
I just wanna go fast

It will be faster regardless without bloated-ass systemd botnet gunking up the works and only the necessary functionality compiled into your programs and kernel.

-O2 is the standard for distros so using -O3 system-wide should make a bit of a difference, although at the cost of using more RAM. You can also use LTO and then there's PGO but it requires a test suite for the program to run to generate data. -march=native might increase performance by like 1-2%.

most stable rolling release, yes

At that point you might as well just use CloverOS
