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. -- This e-mail may be confidential.
