Are you using direct rendering?
You can check in the Desktop Effects GUI, Advanced tab, Enable direct
rendering checkbox.
Also, it would be good to do a
$ glxinfo | grep direct
and check that you get "direct rendering: Yes".
If you get something like "direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT
set)", you have to check your environment variables for that one and
set it to 0 (or unset it), then try again.
You can also check you .kde/share/config/kwinrc for a property named
OpenGLIsUnsafe and set it to false if it is true.
My problems went away once I activated direct rendering. It's still
very much slower than my work laptop's crappy Intel card, but it
works.
