Re: nvidia drivers worth installing?

I can say that i do not run 3D applications on this laptop and i have
decided to give Beryl a try and subsequently i have found that the CPU
is getting higher usage so i wanted to find out if it is normal.
However, i can see that overall system response go down a little bit
because of the higher CPU usage. Nevertheless, i can't say that it is
hindering my usage of laptop. I suppose that disabling (or not using)
"Composite" entails to disable Beryl as well.

Thanks

You didn't state what isn't performing to your expectations,  However
you're using a fairly low end GPU, so there isn't much that can be
done to improve its performance other than to not use Composite (which
by nature will result in a performance hit).
