Building your own kernel is not required nor mandatory on this device, but it is a very
nice thin to do on a Sunday afternoon. Even if your machine is not very fast, like this
one, with only 2 x 1.2 GHz and your mass-storage is not very fast either, but only medium
speed, it takes only a few hours.
Again, I want to summarize, even if you are generally poor, because you have been
suffering for years under financial repression from your local job-market and
administration, it really pays off to build your own kernel, there is no cutting-edge
hardware required in order to do it and slower machines will profit even more from a
custom built kernel than average ones.
If you have been suffering for years under financial repression because your local
job-market is generally defective, you would be working in the IT-sector and you are
being discriminated against, the first thing you will want to do is write an open letter
of complaint to you member of federal parliament. Even if it makes you cry, and the people
who read it, too, that does not matter, tears are very positive in fact, because they
lubricate your eyeballs and cleanse the eye. You cannot cry forever and afterwards you
clearly will be feeling better again, the venerable readers too.
In my case the repression works from two directions. The job-market is defective,
potential employees spend their time googling about candidates instead of talking to them
personally. And things like 'What, you are not on Facebook, nor Google+? But wee need to
know, whom you know!' are very common. Additionally to that there may be reasons, that
allow part-time work only, for example you may have to take care for your patchwork
family, or your health allows for part-time work only. Things like this will rule out the
remaining 0.2 percent chance of finding paid work. So the situation is really ugly
already, and the local JobCenter keeps telling you, that the job of being jobless is
definitively very unattractive, that you have to spend hours of waiting at the JobCenter,
that you have to keep searching for work and keep actively applying for work, and that the
costs for that cannot be paid. They will also not work for you, unless you go there
personally and urge them to do so. So the time has come to write that open letter of
complaint to your member of federal parliament.
Upon writing that letter and sending it to all interested parties, and spending a
considerable amount of tears, you will have time to do something else, you look at the
kernel-configuration of your Debian-testing box, you can do some minor changes to it and
recompile the kernel. 
In my case, I used the same version of the linux-source as before, but
the configuration was the other way around, with 300 MHz timer-frequency only and as a
low-latency desktop. It was called 'config-3.12.6cade'.
Now it is 1000MHz timer-frequency and a normal desktop-kernel with voluntary presmption.
It seems to run in a stable way, the box is booting quickly, it is nice and recommended
for everyone. Do it, everybody !
