Oh, and here I thought this list was for discussing stupid *kernel*
issues. :-)

So is there any significant benefit? Most of my systems seem to spend a
couple of percent of their time in the kernel, even a 100% speed
improvement would hardly be noticable. Considering that you risk
exposing yourself to strange compiler bugs and other quirks, in addition
to support issues with multiple kernels (alternatively losing customers,
I know I prefer having the same distribution on both network boxes and
my desktop if I can help it), I hardly think it'd be worth it.
