Dunno what you're doin, but my custom kernel is 35.44% *smaller* than
the stock kernel.GENERIC.

-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  1504134 Jun 29 18:23 kernel
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  2329748 May 17 18:05 kernel.GENERIC

I took out everything I didn't need and added in the things I wanted
just as you say you did.  I didn't add in very much, I mostly pruned
my config.
