I had compositing disabled, yet using the binary drivers from nvidia so maybe 
is EXA related, but is strange, as I said, this does not happens while 
running 3.5.10. That's why I asked, because with same X config I note the 
impact of performance running the whole kde 4.1.3 over running same apps 
inside 3.5.10.
Then, I'll try to set up my X using the VESA driver and retry.
