The compile time is not even 1% of what it takes.
Tweaking the config, knowing and learning about the effects of all the
kernel parameters, how they interact and affect the system is a
never-ending task. It is very easy to screw it up, too.
IMHO it is much wiser to spend the time to contribute to a community effort.
Sure, you can tweak the kernel to your personal system and preferences
when you roll your own. You can learn a lot by doing that and it can be
fun, too.
At 64studio we've learned that the actual performance difference
regarding options that are relevant only to one system vs options that
are suitable for a distributions are minimal. Debian continues that
effort. ..and you get updates.
