Disabling services you don't need can speed up boot, and is much easier in the long run than compiling a customized kernel because you only have to do it once.

I run a self-compiled kernel (3.7.4) on my F17 box, I've removed all the modules I don't need. I did it because I run Gnome on a 1 GB box and need all the memory I can get. I also don't run any services except dbus. Gnome still loads a crapload of stuff that I can't remove. My idle memory usage (in Gnome) is 130 MB.

It boots at exactly the same speed as the Fedora kernel. Disable all the services that you can, and things will boot quicker, but not that much quicker. Systemd does a great job of running startup jobs in parallel. Because I have an encrypted home, boot time doesn't mean a lot, it takes me longer to type the luks password.
