Works fine here. KDE4.4+Compiz with a pair of GTX 295's. Can't tell any difference between new and old.

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).

Yes, it is a KDE rendering problem. Compiz works fine, so could be a possibility if all else fails.

I have updated to 195.36.15-2. And many things got quite worse. I have no idea where to search for details or find out why it is going sooo slow in some programs. But it happened.
I can't use an older driver because of kernel. And so I have to live with worse performance until next driver update.
For Example: I play Tibia. normaly I got a Framerate of at least 50 fps and much more. Now it stucks on 15fps. And so are some other programs. But, like I allready told, I have no idea how to debug more about this thing.
Another one: I also have in mind that glxgears, started without parameters on default size, gets me around 45000 fps and now it has abouot 15000 fps.

I did an update and it was not that bad - small performance hit - but not big enough to go back to Compiz. Wow, 45000fps, what card are you using? I get 1800fps with my 8600M GT and Kwin effects enabled, my Dell is getting old! Manne
