I had the nvidia driver installed for the last 2 kernel updates and the
"lag" was about 24 hours.

Really? I thought it involved some extra manip. Here's my last kmod upgrade:

Aug 06 14:34:22 Updated: xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-185.18.31-1.fc11.x86_64
Aug 06 14:34:22 Updated: kmod-nvidia-185.18.31-1.fc11.x86_64
Aug 06 14:34:24 Updated: xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-185.18.31-1.fc11.x86_64
Aug 06 14:34:29 Updated:
kmod-nvidia-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.x86_64-185.18.29-1.fc11.x86_64
Aug 06 14:34:36 Installed:
kmod-nvidia-2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.x86_64-185.18.31-1.fc11.x86_64

akmod will do all this automatically?
