You might try the latest nvidia driver, and see if that helps. For
example:

    sudo m-a update; sudo m-a prepare; sudo m-a auto-install nvidia

You might also consider adding:

    Option "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts" "True"

to the "Device" section of your xorg.conf, which I understand is
supposed to lower CPU usage. Also, running:

    nvidia-settings -a synctovblank=1

may reduce CPU usage at the cost of dropping the frame-rate to your
monitor's refresh rate.
