Use a process viewer to see what is chugging through the usage. It probably 
isnt your xorg configuration, although you might try changing the Modules 
section to this...
	Section "Module"
	# This loads some basic X extensions.
		Load	"dbe"  		# Double buffer extension
	# Some graphics specific modules
		Load	"extmod"	# basic graphics subsystem extended support
		Load "glx"		# glx support
	EndSection

You might like to run revdep-rebuild -p and pay special attention to any 
graphics stuff that is broken. Im also running the same chipset and it goes 
flawlessly with that driver version.

Other posibilities, longshot but worth checking are sound (especially artsd in 
kde), and gtk support (firefox dependancy).

PS you did run 'opengl-update nvidia' right?

annoying and confounding a hopelessly defenseless department that was
unfortunate enough to ask for the information in the first place.
