Are you having this bug? http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=120794

I have a GeForce 9600M GT, updated Intrepid, and Compiz seems very slow (slows opening menus, slow workspace changes, slow expose effect, and I'm using Normal compiz effects). Running glxgears with the nVidia Server Settings app open shows that the GPU frequency never goes more than 275 MHz, although it is capable of 500 MHz under Windows Vista.
I don't know if the two issues are related, or related to this bug. I am new to nVidia drivers and I am very disappointed about it...
Please let me know how I can help.

Stephane.
