This isn't a performance note, but you might be interested in hearing that
there are being maintained official backports of 8.0 and 8.1 for Debian sarge
(by Martin Pitt, the same person who maintains both the sarge and sid
versions). Take a look at

  http://people.debian.org/~mpitt/packages/sarge-backports/

It might be more comfortable in the long run than maintaining your own source
installation, although YMMV.
