nvidia's driver is historically optimized primarily for opengl, 2d/xrender
not so much. The latter, is used extensively in kde's default oxygen
style/theming. you could try switching away from oxygen widget theme, see
if that helps any,
systemsettings->application appearance->style
and choose some widget style other than Oxygen, say Plastique
another stab would be to switch to some plasma theme that uses less or no
translucency,
systemsettings->workspace appearance->Desktop Theme
and choose something other than "Air" or "Oxygen"
FWIW, I have a GeForce GT 230 and I'm running the 270.41.19 driver
package that I installed myself. Meaning, I didn't use rpmfusion or
another repository. I am using the Oxygen Style as well as the Oxygen
Theme and I've no performance issues whatsoever.
