I don't know if this message will help anyone, but it may.
If you happen to be running a desktop with nvidia drivers, and your
distro does not automatically update you to the bleeding edge, ie.
gentoo. Then you might want to consider getting the new 180.* series
of drivers have resolved what I would consider a huge bug with
firefox. Prior to updating, certain sites, gmail specifically, would
scroll very slowly and hi-res flash videos were very choppy.
You can get your current driver number from /proc/driver/nvidia/version
and you can test your driver with this site:

Just go there and scroll up and down quickly, if it scrolls your good.
If it freezes and your CPU jumps to 99%, your not so good.
Hope that is not old news, and helps someone,
