Hi,

To improve kernel performance you can configure your own run level
according to your needs....you can choose which services you want to
run on your server according to the server's role.....and further you
can even recompile your kernel containing only the drivers needed for
your server hardware....that also reduces the size of your kernel.

There is a simple tool called "TOP"...good tool to measure server
performance....you can even record server performance and then review
it later to beter schedule some services on specific off peak times....

There is also a tool called "nice" with which you can set nice values
to the processes that are processor hungry...

for more information on these tool check the man page of them.
like

"man top" and "man nice" or "man renice"

Best of luck.
