I was thinking the same thing. I figure something worked for a while

then didn't until I told it to switch again. It is weird tho.
I did do this last night tho. I upgraded my kernel and updated to
the latest nvidia drivers. I checked it again a few minutes ago by
playing a video and it is still working like it should. At almost
full screen my CPU was running at about 40 to 50%
which is about like it was a while back. So, I figure it was either
some sort of kernel issue or even more likely a nvidia driver issue.
I'm just hoping it keeps working like this. Those little wheels are
turning pretty good now.

Well, I worked on my air compressor and played in the dirt in my
garden for a while and now I get this again:
2 frames in 7.6 seconds = 0.263 FPS
2 frames in 7.7 seconds = 0.259 FPS
Is it possible that something slowly fills up RAM so your system has to
start swapping?
KDE used to have a 'system monitor' thingy that displays usage of all the
various system resources like RAM and swap and CPU. I always have the
equivalent gnome applet displayed on the gnome panel and it's alerted me
to countless similar bugs over the years.
According to top, gkrellm and cat /proc/meminfo there is no swap in
use. I have 2Gbs of ram and have swappiness set to 20 or 30. I rarely
use swap unless I am compiling something huge, OOo comes to mind, or
have a LOT of images open with GIMP.
I did check to make sure tho. My swappiness did get magically changed
once before. I wish it was something that easy tho.
Still open to ideas. I started a emerge -e world.
