Both uses Nvidia proprietary driver. > The most obvious problem I have been seeing has to do with window switches. It seems as if, all of a sudden, they become painfully slow. One version: Ctrl-Alt-Delete completely freezes everything, to the point that the mouse cursor disappears, and then---like you---I wait 3-5 seconds until the logout box finally appears. Log out and log in seems to cure it. The only thing I do know is that X is consuming what looks like a lot of resources as I switch windows, e.g., 35% CPU. But I have four cores, so that can't be the issue by itself. Also, this is not a memory issue: I have 6GB, and no swap being used.
