I believe part of the slowness for X is the IPV6 module that is loaded 
by default. This has been identified but I do not remember the reference.

IIRC the nv driver works fine but has no 3d support.  The nvidia drive 
OTOH has 3d support but has the bug related to the 4k stack size when 
using glx or opengl.
