I see there are some discussions going on the nvidia, KDE and arch forums about the performance of KDE 4.4 and latest nvidia driver, no results yet as I can see. My current setup with 190.53 works fast and snappy (no special xorg param); but updating to anything later drops performance by a factor, so I resisted upgrading nvidia. Now with the latest kernel update I cannot keep the 190.53 driver. Anyone have a solution for performance tweaking the latest KDE and nvidia combo? (I dont want to get too out of sync with the updates).

Hi, you can upgrade to nvidia 195.36 as the issue has been fixed.from the changelog[1]
* Fixed a performance regression with non-antialiased text in KDE4.

I saw that, but some discussions on the NVIDIA forums suggests that that was not the problem. I will update and see; can go back to Compiz if KWin is unusable. Thanks Manne
