For the first kernel compilation you will need this steps:
sudo apt-get install git kernel-package fakeroot build-essential
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
cd linux
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
yes '' | make oldconfig
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=`getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb
sudo reboot
git bisect --help
compiling a custom kernel is all well and good if your only goal is to optimize YOUR system . However I prefer to test what Ubuntu is actually providing since that is the whole point of this forum .
if it ain't broke you haven't tweaked it enough
