It used to work flawlesslly but after one of updates it became unusable - whenever I'm running vmware player, it's unusably slow.

Kwin process is on 100% as well as vmware-vmx. Windows don't even focus (it takes forever).
Effects on desktop are disabled.

Specs:
NVIDIA NVS 5400M
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.24.run (it's the same driver that worked perfectly)

kde-window-manager 4:4.11.12-0ubuntu1.1
opther kde things are 4:4.11 or 4:4.14

Vmplayer 6.xxx (latest).

Any ideas? :-S
It used to work perfectly well on same computer, same driver, same vmplayer...

I had the same Problem with NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-349.16.run, NVIDIA Quadro 200M and Kubuntu 14.04. After upgrading to NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-355.11.run, the problem is gone :)
