Kind of hard to recommend if you're using external drivers (by external I mean which are not included in the kernel) for example external alsa drivers, or wireless, or nvidia/ati binary drivers... > 2. change -O2 flag to -O3 and add -funroll-loops Living on the edge huh? ok :)
As for a question earlier in the thread: > 3. What kind of improvements 've people experienced on the CLI after re-compiling? Improvements in the CLI? Hows the CLI going to improve by recompiling the kernel? Sure, you could improve the amount of memory the kernel occupies, or how fast the os feels, or maybe if you use some uber disk scheduler, then your disk may just operate 0.1% faster... but CLI? If you want an improved CLI, change the shell which you use (which is most probably bash, and therefore there's probably no other shell which is much better than bash)..
