I just upgraded to kde 3.4 on my slack 10.1 box, and I enabled translucency by adding this to the end of my xorg.conf file

It looks great, but runs like a freaking slide show. It looks like doom 2 on my 386. All windows take 3 to 4 seconds to move, 2 to 3 seconds to become translucnet with no fading. I've got a 64 mb GeForce nvidia card with the latest driver installed, so what gives? I should have enough power to do this. Is it because of the experimental nature of the translucency in xorg, or do I need a new video card? or is my xorg file configured wrong? Thanks for any help.

Yes, it's not mature yet the transparency support. You can get a "decent" speed if you enable RenderAccel in your xorg.conf, but it won't be as good as you might spect.
