Most of the problems with KDE4 and the nvidia driver is gone for me now.

* The terrible performance with plasma is now OK.
* The multiple krunner window have i not seen for some time now.
* Hug lag when switching desktop is now OK

The problems i still have is:
* When opening a new window i see the contest from some old/other window.
* 2D performance is not what you would expect on my computer (Xrender?)

Somewhere between the Intrepid beta and now most of the problem has
been sort out and i can use the desktop OK for most of my daily tasks.
I don't know if it's the KDE4, kernel or nvidia driver update or my
tweaking the settings that made it.

Besides the links you provided i find some help here:

(see the sticky notes).

I have a Asus nvidia 9600 (nVidia Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1))
