In process of switching to nVIDIA drivers and following advice found in

I was wondering what gentoo-users think and practice about kernel

Note that I'm _NOT_ talking about those modules that have to be compiled
in such as for your filesystem. This is about the other ones.

Regarding that, my world file is bloated. Until recently, I had a
