Windows slow when resizing and xorg eats cpu

Resizing windows like Dolphin or any window for that matter is really sluggish. Top shows that xorg eats cpu and can 80-100%.

I've got a modern system with Q9550 at 2,45Ghz 4Gb ram and nice Nvidia 8600GT card with 512Mb. But still it's feels like syrop!

I've read that the problem is in compositing and drivers. I really hope someone can solve this soon.

Another solution would be if someone can point me to a graphic card that works. I'm ready to buy a new one if necessary.

Thanks!

Which driver version do you use? You might want to update to the latest version.
