Build the RPMS and add an up2date entry

dir my-i686-rpms /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686

Unless you have your own build farm and can automate with scripts,
you'll be hard pressed to build updates as fast as they come out.

Conventional wisdom has it that only a few packages (like kernel,
openssl, glibc) are going to make much difference; however, if you
manage to do it and have benchmark results please share.
