I think the size is somewhat up to you and your needs.  Compiling a custom
kernel that suits your needs and system is, as I understand it, the most
desireable option.  I'm guessing you might want to leave out certain
features Steven has compiled in, while adding others you want.  Anyway,
common sense tells me that there would not be a large size difference.
