It takes much less time to build a kernel configured
specifically for your machine, with only the modules you need
(compiled in or as module shouldn't matter), than to build a
distro kernel, which has to build almost all modules in
existence.
I know ... I just deemed it an interesting comparison, although
completely useless
But of course, you have to know what you're doing
to configure a custom kernel, and it also takes time (YOUR
time, not just your computer's) to configure it.
which isn't a bad thing after all, because at least learn
something
and 'make oldconfig' is such a wonderful command ...
