Summary and Info:
Starting from cairo 1.12.6, some gtk themes are very slow, even firefox is laggy when it has to scroll pages containing native widgets. Steps to Reproduce: Install and use qtcurve-gtk2 or an "heavy" gtk theme. Install cairo >1.12.2 and scroll the gmail html version https://mail.google.com/mail/h/ Try the same with cairo 1.12.2 and see how smoother it is. I tried to add the missing patch (cairo-1.10.0-buggy_gradients.patch) to cairo 1.12.8 and i've smooth scrolling again. Ref: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=152212 |

(google for cairo-1.10.0-buggy_gradients.patch before compiling)
Anyway i wonder if that patch has some downside for unaffected users (nouveau works well without the patch indeed).
I'm still waiting for nvidia to answer to email and/or to the forum post.
...Meanwhile i made an aur package:
