Paul,
You will have terrible performance with the free nv driver and the
menus if they're being drawn with the default OpenGL painter as it's
basically trying to emulate 3D hardware using only software.  Have you
tried my suggestion of changing the 'Paint Engine' to QT in the
Setup->Appearance menu and restarting the frontend?  That's generally
far snappier, since basically all the OpenGL does is allow for fading
effects in the menus.
