For what it's worth, Debian still runs an 3.02 kernel, and the performance
is decidedly worse.  Better to work through the bug, Ubuntu is more up to date.

  This seems to fix it (at least for one version upgrade) for many
  people

  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331

  after that...

  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331-uvm

  (some users may be on the versions of these packages suffixed with
  -updates )
