This might have made since in 1999 when Linux was first getting started 
and every byte mattered. However, today, with terabyte storage and 8GB 
of RAM for less than $100 USD (each) this makes no sense at all. You're 
just wasting your time. Not having modules or compiling in modules 
provides zero performance benefit. Just FYI.

P.S. Perfect item to add to Tim's list. :)
