It indicates that the value showed has been rounded, I mean, when it was calculated the result wasn't an integer, so it was rounded. Thus not all blocks has been included in the value.

If you do it correctly, yes you can see a really good improvement in speed and general performance, but if you has never done this, it maybe take you a lot of time reviewing documentation of your hardware, plus documentation of the kernel, etc., and in the end maybe you chose not the best options :/, but it's a really good expierence and you learn a lot, if you have enough time an patience, give it a try.

I'm not sure about this one, but according to me, an ebuild is like an script where it says all the specific steps (compiling, checking dependencies, etc.) in order to install an application.
