[PlanetCCRMA] Re: Kernel compilation

[Luis Garrido]

Hi, Mark!

Thanks for your answer. Yup, I know from other postings of yours that you 
have spent a lot of time tweaking and optimizing, so I appreciate you share 
your expertise.

Talking about safety, what I am concerned about is that having a Fedora 
based system, not applying Fedora patches may break things up.

Other problem I see is the huge amount of time one has to invest in tweaking 
a kernel (identifying hardware, finding the right config values, etc.) when 
the gain might in the end be marginal, but your numbers sound good to me ;-) 
OTOH, an AMD64 system has probably more room for improvement than an Intel 
one when compared to a generic i686 build like Nando's.

Just one way to find it out, I guess.

Cheers,

Luis
