I strongly disagree. Debian's kernels are good one-size-fits-all kernels,
but they definitely lack in efficiency and perfomance speed.
The difference in speed between my custom kernels and the stock Debian
kernels is like night and day. On every architecture, my custom kernels
produce a dramatic increase in perfomance.
