Volker already mentioned the driver problem. If you wonder *why* the drivers are broken:

GeForce 8xxx and 9xxx series almost completely lack 2D acceleration hardware. The 3D engine of the hardware must be used to render 2D stuff (including video). NVidia has not really implemented this for their Linux drivers yet. Right now, GeForce 5, 6 and 7 series is much faster with 2D on linux than GeForce 8 and 9.

I have one 8800gt and 7300 and the 7300 it's not faster than 8800. Using xrender is slow and the opengl render is not better. The ATI on my laptop isn't any better.

Both kde 4 and qt 4 are terribly slow with graphics.
