Hi,
I've seen several threads about issues with kwins performance under nvidia cards.
Since I also have sluggish performance (opening the menu is laggy, maximizing windows and switching between them, too...) with my 7600GT (AGP) and the current driver 256.35 (also with older versions) I read the threads but I still don't know if it's just my old system that can't work with kwin. But than again, compiz works like a charm so is there anything I can do for a smooth KDE experience?
Currently I have just this configuration:
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default nvidia Device"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
TIA for your help

Thanks for the link, but playing around with InitialPixmapPlacement and GlyphCache made it even worse

HAve you tried Initial pixmap placement 3 and 1 as well? Also have you tried adding those options for the device section of xorg.conf? I also have to ask whether you have carefully follwoed the instructions here:

If you have then my ideas are very limited as the driver is a proprietary binary blob and so I can only suggest complaining to nvidia about it.
