Out of interest which NVIDIA driver? My speed certainly improved when I moved 
to the 177.80 and 177.82 drivers with my GeForce 6600 GT. In fact I would say 
that now my system is more responsive under KDE4 than KDE3 but I don't have 
any hard figures on that - just my perception.

The effects in KDE4 have nothing to do with compiz. They are native to KDE4 - 
plugins to KWin in fact. So this does work unless you have installed compiz on 
top of KDE4. Not sure what effect that would have but probably not good.
