I have the same problem.
Since karmic was going well, and I didn't want any glitches I held off until now to upgrade to lucid.
I had full effects on in karmic and it was working fine.
Now even "Normal" effects makes the machine unusably slow, so I am on "No effects"
Has anyone solved this yet? Is it a driver problem? Does it need a bug report?
Here's my lspci etc.

With no effects enabled, the machine is fine, but I like the full effects, so if you know how to get them back, I'd appreciate knowing too!
