in order: yes; this is a personal think only you can answers;
less that 5 per cent speed -- but your psyche would know ...
and you would have learned how to do an interesting thing; I
recompile all the time, and test heavily the Raw Hode tree of
Red Hat (and file bugs/ RFW's and patches, of occasion)

Recompiles of the kernel, and the libraries will help most.
Application layer less so.
