Before kernel-devel was split off, installing and uninstalling kernels
did indeed take significantly longer if you had several kernels
installed.  If I can remember that far back, RPM tried to cut the
installed size down by hardlinking together duplicate files under
/lib/modules/{version}/build.  But kernel-devel started being used in
FC3, so this shouldn't be an issue now.
