I am just wondering if the NV driver for nVidia cards are supposed to
be slow, for just the desktop? That is, no 3D.

I am currently running Xfce Desktop on 4.2-release, just surfing the
web and stuff, nothing heavy... and Desktop switching, maximising
windows, and stuff takes unusually long time... of course I would not
expect the same performance with the binary blob driver on Linux, but
by a long time I mean it takes 5 - 30 seconds "freeze" to do
anything... maximising a window takes 5 - 10 seconds, while switching
desktop spaces takes 20 - 30 seconds, depends on how many windows are
on that space.

For non-drawing purpose, it is all very fast, minimise is very quick,
switching to an empty desktop space is an instant. So I guess it may
be the window manager, xfwm4?

So yea I am wondering if this is normal for xfce on nVidia cards...
like if it is xfce's problem, or X Windows, or driver??

Thanks.
