Hi,

I am using the nv xorg driver on 8.0 amd64 with a GeForce 6600 (CPU is 
an i7 overclocked at 4GHz) configured in 1920x1080. With that setup it 
takes about 2 seconds to maximize a window or to switch workspace in 
fluxbox. Is there a way to improve speed or this is all I can hope to get?

Thanks!
