The only workaround / solution I've found is to not use the nvidia 
drivers at the moment :(

As soon as we switch to vesa / nv, the problem goes away, and the 
desktop feels super responsive again. We're using the 177.70 beta driver 
on FreeBSD, and so far I haven't been able to find any magic combination 
of settings which fixes the slow plasma / desktop response times.
