You don't need full kernel-source to compile NVidia drivers, just headers from kernel-devel is well enough.
I was not aware this was the case, thinking that to install Nvidia driver required both kernel-source and kernel-devel. I removed kernel-source and Nvidia drivers installed without any problems.
As kernel-source package has been removed, hopefully zypper's file conflict check should run much quicker.
Thank you for your tip.

Does VirtualBox still work without the kernel-source?
VirtualBox has no need for the kernel source. If you need to build the modules because you are using something other than the default, then 'sudo /sbin/vboxconfig' is the command you need It will install the appropriate VB host or guest source, gcc, and kernel-devel for your kernel and build the modules.
