GENERIC's got enough stuff in it that you will notice a good difference in the disk footprint of the image as well as the memory image of the kernel when run. I tend to take GENERIC, strip out all of the statically compiled drivers that I don't need and add whatever options I need on the machine. >From my own tests, something as simple as "options ADAPTIVE_MUTEXES" can yield upwards of 5% compile time reduction. This number is even higher on multi-CPU machines.
