Yes, using oldconfig, and afterwards menuconfig or xconfig, if I need to 
tweak some more.
With this Quad core it just takes less then half a hour, running in 
background.
Well, on the 3.4.xxx-rt kernels I could even build a kernel in 
background, and play with guitarix for the time being, at 128 
frames/period without any Xrun.  On later ones, I can't open a 
text-editor without receive a Xrun.
