BINGO. This narrows in on the culprit. Disabling "show_desktop" makes 
the whole desktop 3-4 times more snappy, especially with EXA. It appears 
that (at least with radeon), nautilus' desktop drawing breaks very 
drastically.

But even with top-of-the-line nVidia (with closed driver), desktop 
scaling speed is very much improved without nautilus.
