You may already be aware of this, but it sounds like you have software 
rendering enabled for your pc, however dri is not enabled correctly. 
 Run glxinfo, and see if at the top it says direct rendering enabled. 
 This sounds simple, but if it's not enabled games like the ones you 
mentioned (which use opengl) will run really slow.  I have the same 
problem, and am trying to get dri enabled on my machine, however I'm 
using a voodoo card, and so the setup will be different than yours with 
the nvida.  Good luck, hope this wasn't a repeat of what you already know
