It doesn't seem to push SMS, or am I missing something?

Plus, Google Voice will automatically disable SMS forwarding to your mobile phone, so you won’t receive duplicate notifications.
...there is no way to have it push SMS to my phone?

Yes. On the web app, click on settings (top right portion of screen), click on the Voicemail & SMS tab. Look at the Voicemail Notifications section, there is a checkbox that says Send a text (SMS) message to:
Make sure the checkbox is checked. Done.

I did that, and I won't receive any messages in my google voice inbox on my droid, unless I actually go into the app, at which time i instantly receive it. What am I missing, I don't want to check for my SMS all the time, id like it to notify me when I get one.
VM's not the issue IMO, SMS is. I'm currently having GV forward SMS to my Droid since I frequently run into serious lag when relying on the GV app for SMS. It does seem odd that Google couldn't get SMS to be more timely but hopefully this update will address it.I agree that instant notification would be ideal but since I have (not infrequently) gotten notification of my Verizon voicemail three days to three weeks after a phone call, I'm extremely satisfied with the notification sent by Google Voice.
I'd suggest double-checking the notification settings within the GV app on your Droid.I did that, and I won't receive any messages in my google voice inbox on my droid, unless I actually go into the app, at which time i instantly receive it.

There seems to be some serious confusion here so allow me to clarify something.
With today's Google Voice update on your Droid, you now have near instant SMS notifications on your phone.. for free.
Just tested with two separate friends. Both sent text messages that were recieved by my droid via the GV app in less than 15 seconds, might have been faster, it's hard to clock.
WE FINALLY HAVE PUSH SMS!!
Nice i asked for the feature... and in less than a week they implemented it... just for me.
