Hii, I want to compile my own kernel in ARCH, I used to do it in other Distros before, but not in ARCH
What should I read before?
is this wiki is enough?
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cus … onfig_file

Should I add some patches?

For me, vanilla kernel and ck patchset give the best restults.
Excessive showering, grooming, and toothbrushing is not only vain, it wastes valuable coding time.

by "vanilla", you mean the default kernel.org one?
and I use CK, I don't thinl its fast, maybe have nice things in, but not that fast.

So what was the fastest for you when you used to build your own kernel?
Personally I don't notice "speed" difference in every day use. Maybe if you are a gamer or doing some heavy duty stuff, then those patchsets with a reputation of "high performance" make some noticeable difference, but I doubt patching a kernel suddenly makes your machine so fast that you can tell for sure. Perhaps ever so slight, but if you want something fast, just use stock kernel with *box WM. That's noticeably faster and more responsive than using some patched kernel with KDE/Gnome. Speed wise that is.
By the way, do something about your spelling. I'm not talking about a typo here and there. You are bordering AOL speak.

sorry for my spelling.
What do you mean when you say I am "bordering AOL speak"
?
and btw, Why do stock vanilla are faster then all the ones with patchs?

Vanilla is the flavor of kernel.org yes
I use it because I am used too (coming from Slackware), and the ck patchset give me better usability on my desktop, even on heavy loads (e.g. when heavy I/O occurs on my disks, xterm takes less than a second to appear with ck, and a lot more with vanilla).
If you want to try before doing it yourself, you can use the archck kernel, which includes the ck patchset (and some more patches).
Excessive showering, grooming, and toothbrushing is not only vain, it wastes valuable coding time.
