It's not the size it's how you use it

Hehe...
Let´s say you compile all stuff avaible in your kernel (if that´s possible).. How long would it take to boot ? Anyone tried this ? |

Allright, I was not aware of that. But it is quite an increase - 40% in your case. I know that size does not matter much - difference betwen 1M and 3M kernel is negligible (in term of used memory) unless you have low end system with tiny memory.
But I guess the extra code has its puropse and it brings performance improvemnets (I have not tried 2.6 myself, but people see to like it a lot).
Perhaps a lot of extra code comes from ALSA integration? |

1270 KB of kernel (2.6.5 vanilla) and 1328 KB of modules, thanks to some bulky stuff like ALSA, reiserfs, and udf. It would be 540 KB without those three.
