There may be two main reasons as to why you would want a custom kernel on your system: 1) You want to add some functionality to your system such as audio support, or 2) you may want to remove some unused drivers to conserve memory. Either way, making a custom kernel will help your machine to be a faster box rather than using the GENERIC kernel.

Want to speed up your system a bit as well as reduce boot time and resource usage? Or compile extra features into your kernel? The best way to do that is to compile your own custom kernel yourself. It is much simpler than you would think, ESPECIALLY if you've ever tried it in Linux. ;)
