The server does not freeze immediately. When resizing a konsole window it
shortly shows strange content, then the whole screens gets redrawn and the
kernel logs

May  4 01:09:26 ei kernel: [61049.249134] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 13, 0001 00000000 00005097 000015e0 00000000 00000100

You may resize 2 or 3 times and then the xserver freezes and I can't switch
to a VT. But the xserver does not crash. If one moves the mouse it will
react after several seconds and then starts moving very slowly in the
direction the mouse was moved. 

Disabling composite probably helps because as a side effect one disables any
opengl effects of kwin.

I can't say if it is a problem of the nvidia driver or of the xserver.
