The nvidia driver from experimental works fine for me. Since the slowdown is 
not deterministically reproducable, but happens after a while with varying 
severity, it is hard to judge its impact. After running a few days with the 
new driver, I think the slowdown is not so bad anymore, but it is still there. 
Yesterday, I moved away from oxygen, if that fixes the problem reliable I might 
test the update in

call.html

for oxygen which is supposed to work with KDE 4.4.5 (or stay away from 
oxygen).

Thanks for all the useful replies :-)
