You might try the latest nvidia driver, and see if that helps. For
example:
sudo m-a update; sudo m-a prepare; sudo m-a auto-install nvidia
You might also consider adding:
Option "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts" "True"
to the "Device" section of your xorg.conf, which I understand is
supposed to lower CPU usage. Also, running:
nvidia-settings -a synctovblank=1
may reduce CPU usage at the cost of dropping the frame-rate to your
monitor's refresh rate.
