Makes me sad too... so sad I'm going to try OSX for a month and possibly
move to that.  Until NVIDIA gets their act together, I've tried the
following with various degrees of success:

My fix
-------
sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl

This works way better than any other solution for me, however xgl
doesn't work with all nvidia drivers (ok with the nvidia-glx-new 169.12
for me).  XGL has some weird minor side-effects too, but mostly good for
me. 110fps versus 10fps with proper driver is an improvement!

Proper way
----------
VSYNC: 
Appending the "Option "DynamicTwinView" "false"" to my xorg / device section, I 
now get a muuuch smoother experience.

SHADOWS: 
official driver
or 
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia/libwfb.so.xserver-xorg-core 
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so

OVERCLOCKING:
1) open /etc/modprobe.conf
2) add the lines:
options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222"
        OR options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x3322"
options nvidia NVreg_Mobile=1
3) Reboot

PIXMAPCACHESIZE
        Section "Screen"
        ........
        Option "PixmapCacheSize" "200000"
        ........
        EndSection
