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. 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.
