To be fair, so have I. :) But, if you think the extra risk and work is justified, go right ahead.
I tend to tread the middle ground myself--I have a kernel built from RedHat source RPMs using a RedHat-supplied alternate config, with one or two minor tweaks.
The big win for me at home was compiling for the Athlon.
Yeah, I believe the rpm I quoted earlier was compiled for the Athlon, something I doubt about the current kernel (which was compiled for i686).
