Hi.

If you build a custom kernel specifically for an atom based netbook, can you gain a "noticeable" improvement?

It doesn't matter the kind of improvement gained: lower temperatures, better interactivity, lower memory usage, ... whatever. I used to build custom kernels long ago, but it was more for fun and to learn something. Now the kernel have a lot more options than those days but It doesn't seem to be more complicated. I know the hardware and I can uncheck most of the options, but I don't know if that would make any difference because most of them are build as modules.

And to finish, do CFLAGS and gcc flags do something. I don't know why, but I think that I read long time ago some document in the kernel source saying it doesn't matter at all. I may have imaginated it, XD.

Building a custom kernel for performance is typically only necessary when dealing with ridiculously low resources. The other primary reason to compile a kernel is to include support for new or legacy hardware.
