Definitely true, since the VPS only has 128MB of memory :-)

I wasn't talking about building a custom kernel, just using config to change GENERIC.

No, I'm not an expert. Your advice is well spoken. It looks to me like the kernel takes 12MB:

Code:
real mem  = 133742592 (127MB)
avail mem = 121569280 (115MB)
Not sure how much it could actually shrink by, so it may not be worth the effort.
