It will improve the performance, but not much, less than 5% I think... For desktop use it gives more when you recompile your window manager and the apps you use (but it requires many hours).

No, you can have both versions at the same time. You just need to have the newly compiled ones in another directory (for example in /usr/local, apps from RPMs are installed in /usr).
