freebsd stable - Apr 2005 - building good custom kernel

hi ,
i tried building the freebsd 5.3 kernel and it works
fine, but can u people give me some tips regarding 
optimizing kernel during build, even saving a single
cpu cycle would mean a lot. i would like to have a 
kernel that is really optimized. And what do you
people do to fine tune the kernel? 

thanks,
ananth.g

KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
CPUTYPE=p4
CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe -funroll-loops
COPTFLAGS= -O2 -pipe -funroll-loops

in /etc/make.conf.

Claus
