I would expect vesa to be quite slow. I don't know about nvidia-xconf and
where it comes from, probably because I do not have a nvidia card any
more. Does it really place "vesa" into the config?
What happens when you replace the "vesa" driver with "nvidia"? emerge
nvidia-drivers if not already done. If this fails, try "nv" instead, this
is the slower open source driver, which should be okay for 2D acceleration
at least.

I read something here about dri and dri2 some days ago, but don't
remember. I think they are not needed with nvidia-drivers or something
like that.
There is also X -configure which creates a new xorg.conf, but that
segfaults for some years on my machine.
And you could try with hal and no xorg.conf.
