Not quite, what you see is that code kicked in that prevented your desktop from becoming unusable due to bad video drivers (too little frames being rendered for compositing to be useful).
The nvidia driver still has grave performance problems, even my integrated intel chip feels faster than my desktop's 7600GS. I know it's frustrating for users, but we (KDE) decided to not paper over driver bugs so they eventually get fixed and don't stand in the way anymore in the future.

I'm happy for KDE, but it's still incomplete as of 4.2.4, and it's still buggy. KDE 4.3 may or may not iron out some of this, but we're deep into a release and it's still incomplete and buggy. I agree with an earlier poster that I'd rather see quality instead of the next big Plasma release, or whatever. Give me substance over flash.
I really find it funny that despite running a Core i7 920 and an nVidia 275GTX card with 6GB of memory, my KDE 4.2.4 installation gives me a notification now and then that compositing was too slow and it's temporarily turning it off. What? So, is the resources for KDE gotten to the point that Vista requires, now?
