That's a good point: there's no rule that says you have to run a distro-built kernel, even in a production environment. A customized kernel with unneeded features trimmed may help matters. (For instance, I have no need for most of the drivers or filesystems.)

LinuxCon: Kernel roundtable covers more than just bloat Posted Oct 2, 2009 0:25 UTC (Fri) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link] Linus was talking about some kind of bloat that makes the kernel slower. I don't think removing device driver or filesystem driver modules from the disk or configuring out most of the configurable features speeds things up.
