[Bryce Harrington <877438@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I notice several bugs reporting similar problems with older nvidia
cards:  877438 (8xxx cards), 940742 (6xxx cards), 943643 (9800), 958251
(8600), 962191 (7100).  The problems include generally degraded
performance, fuzzy fonts, and/or lagging in games, which did not exist
in earlier versions of the nvidia driver.

We've recently added a new 295-33 version of -nvidia to Ubuntu.  The
changelog doesn't specifically list a fix for this type of problem, but
it does list a few performance fixes, and would be worth re-testing.
Update to nvidia 295.33 and report back here whether or not it improved
the performance.

Note, you might be seeing crashes, corruption, or other assorted
problems, but these may be separate bugs, let's just focus on the
performance regression on this bug report.
