Has anyone else experienced problems with the 190.42 series of nVidia drivers on a Dell Latitude E6400 ?

I run the 185.x series with good performance but when I emerge the new 190.42 drivers, the whole machine grinds to a halt in KDE4 and compositing is turned off and the interface becomes occasionally unresponsive.

Also it seems to me that the last two releases of KDE has introduced some major problems when it comes to graphics. To me the releases has been major setbacks in stability and performance. Am I alone in experiencing this ?
