Description of problem: As noted recently on cairo & xorg lists cairo apps are a really slow on drivers that are not properly accelerated. It was suggested in the threads to use the EXAOptimizeMigration to mitigate the problem. And indeed that is a huge difference on my system (no more multisecond lags in firefox or when rendering a new window). nv is still a pig, but not a slower-than-a-snail pig any longer. Please make EXAOptimizeMigration the default for nv users for now. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.1.8-1.fc9.x86_64
