Nautilus renders differently than Galeon/Gecko, and thus triggers the
nVidia bug where Galeon would not. A number of other apps have this
issue with the 41xx nVidia drivers, which do not with the 3xxx driver
series. Downgrading, it gets much better. Using the older drivers,
Nautilus2.2 is *very* snappy, even on the much much older machine I'm
stuck with at work. Here, at home, on a far faster machine, it's quite
slow, because I'm using the newer drivers, and I'm too lazy to
downgrade. ;-)
