If you really want your recompiles to make a *noticable* difference, try doing two things:
1. Remove loadable modeule support. 2. change -O2 flag to -O3 and add -funroll-loops This will speed things up considerably. However, keep in mind that some drivers, especially in kernel 2.6 may break under O3. Naturally, this method is not for those weak of heart. I picked up these tricks from Securing RedHat Linux by Gerard Mourhoni. Great Reading.
