Boot speed is important. DKMS slows it down.

DKMS is a neat idea brought in from Dell, and it helps recompile kernel modules brought in from packages other than the official ubuntu kernel packages every time the kernel is updated. For instance, virtualbox, kqemu, and nvidia. However, it also spends about 5 seconds to check on every boot for each driver to be properly installed.

Check when installing a new kernel

Check when installing a new package that uses dkms.

Maybe check when computer is idle once a week.
