I have observed extreme responsiveness issues after having upgraded to nvidia-drivers 325.08 and restarting gnome-shell 3.6.3.1, there is a substantial delay between clicking and typing and it reflecting on the screen. This appeared to be resolved by downgrading nvidia-drivers and reloading gnome-shell. Please let me know what I can do to be of assistance in debugging this issue.

Since I'm using gnome-3.8.3-r1 and I'm not impacted, I would think that this problem is solved with gnome-3.8
Confirming and CC-ing nvidia-drivers maintainers.

3.8 is now unmasked, maybe it helps :/
Seems to be fixed with nvidia-drivers-325.15 and gnome-3.8.
