Shot in the dark here. NVidia updated their drivers at about the time you started having problems. Their latest driver update changed the permissions on /dev/nvidia0 nvidiactl ; resulting in VERY slow scrolling response on my box (amd64) using googleearth. Changing the permissions to crwxrw-rw- resulted in instant speed up; you may get by with r--r-- (?). HTH
