I am running a similar setup see what you mean about video performance, but no guarantees are made by the nouveau developers in regards to 3D performance/rendering.
I was under the impression the chromium ran in 2D and thus should not have bogged down, I might be mistaken about this. Video playback within a web page is another story.
I am also unable to throw my laptop into sleep with this kernel/nouveau setup. Is this just an anomaly with just my hardware or does it happen on yours as well?
