If I were you, I'd use "make menuconfig" to set/unset the values that
you set manually. You can find them with "/MATOM" (for "CONFIG_MATOM")
with the menuconfig screen.
If you'd like to find out what's probably the fastest that you can
compile a kernel on your netbook "make defconfig" will give you a
pretty small (and almost certainly useless for your purposes) kernel
config.
