Wiring down the SCSI devices, for one, is a good idea... at least in
multiple-disk configurations.  Removing unused drivers/subsystems is also
a great way to reduce the in-memory footprint of the code, and in some
cases can give you a performance boost (slight, but measurable).  In
particular, if you don't have one of the CPUs listed in the config file,
you should comment it out; you might also look at NFS functionality, PPP
compression options, and protocols like NS, ISO, etc.

It's not a bad idea to start from the GENERIC config and pare it down.
