Hi all,

I have searched the web for the answer to my question
but have found conflicting info.  So I turn to you,
experts!

What exactly are the benefits of recompling the kernel
(besides support for new device)?

I have asked this question before, and was told that
it optimizes the system to work more efficiently. 
However after reading:

http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/install/kupgrade.html

The writer states he has never seen kernel recompling
produce a faster machine.  Other posts on the web seem
to hint that kernel recompiling is a thing of the past
or a signal .  Whats the deal here?  I've tried
recompling before on mandrake 8.2 and have had mixed
results.  However, I noticed that you have the option
to specify the processor type (which makes me think
that would make it perform faster?).

TIA
