FYI: I'm using the nouveau driver - desktop effects (XRENDER)

haven't seen any of the mentioned issues. Can it be that it's the
proprietary driver which is making trouble? If so, ask on the NVIDIA
mailing list [1] if others have the same issues.
I way using the nvidia driver and switched to nouveau to test (the one
currently in updates-testing); impressively enough KDE feels much more
responsive and (until now) did not notice any performance degradation.
The only thing I've noticed that performs worse so far is full-screen flash
video which does not bother me much. If the multiple monitor setup I have at
home works fine as well I may stick with nouveau in the end :)
