What openSUSE version (11.3?), and more importantly, what kernel
version, and what nVidia driver version?

It may be possible that you're running into one of the nVidia/kernel
combinations that cause problems with KDE4.  For example, the default
kernel for 11.3 is well known to cause significant performance issues
on (most, but not all) computers that are using nvidia graphics cards.
 The quick fix in these cases was to simply upgrade to a newer kernel
(eg install a kernel from the Kernel:Head repository).

Of course it could be something else as well... but this is the firs
place I would look.
