After that I ran a few tweaks I found online. While the performance did improve, it's still nowhere near what I would consider "good". I'll keep my eye on NVidia, though. It seems that the consensus is that they're the culprit. rajat:

Believe me....!!! My notebook has intel graphics... and it's fatest of XP or Vista or Gnome (linux) or KDE3.... I have used all of them on the same machine.... try with your other machine or yr friend's... even, when they say... it uses less memory than KDE3.. i didn't believe.... but, i must say... seeing is believing... GOOD LUCK !!! Nvidia is culprit for that !!!
