But Volker, if it takes me an hour to decrapify my kernel config and  
make it faster, it will probably take 1000 years for those speed  
improvements to pay off.

If I had unlimited time then I would love to read that book. I really  
LIKE the idea of decrapifying my kernel config. But realistically, any  
time I spend on it is time wasted, for which no difference will be  
appreciable.
