This might not be a good idea since you might need your old kernel to
boot from if anything went wrong with the new one.
Probably you built your kernel with debugging symbols turned on, which
will make it _much_ bigger (and slower!)
Put the following line into your /etc/make.conf
	INSTALL_NODEBUG="yes"	
and try again.
