I am attempting a kernel build of a 3.5.9 kernel.  I’ve read that it will work with CentOS 6.x and still provide some features that hopefully will provide better performance although initially it’s going to be built with pretty much the same options as the old kernel so that I can differentiate problems caused by the kernel version from problems caused by operator malfunction.

     This may cause the web server to operate slightly slower during the build although I’ve checked with Firebug and it doesn’t seem to be affecting it greatly so far.
