I was experiencing some lock-ups and performance issues with the previous 275.09.04 beta driver, but not nearly as bad as the nvidia-current driver currently in the natty main repository.
I have been running the new 275.09.07 driver all day without any issues thus far. The new beta 275.09.07 is available via a ppa, with add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa Please read the pages at https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers and https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa, this repository is descried as: Go break your X here: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgOnTheEdge for a script that installs and runs the test packages in a live CD/media session, for quick and easy temporary testing. Most of you will want the nvidia-current i386 or amd64 package and perhaps the nvidia-settings package.
