Ok, I understand then why it feels slow here: I'm using Xinerama, so the
DRI is disabled. I must have the same speed as the buggy nVidia drivers.

But then I'm still pretty disappointed with nautilus' speed. We were
promised 2.2 was quickier, snappiest, but (without DRI at least) it
still feels slow.
OTOH, Win2k under VMWare (so without using any sort of acceleration)
*is* snappy, explorer (which has to use SMB over an emulated NIC) is
speedy to display my home directory.
