Yes I can confirm this now..

FYI tonight I have been trying to get to the bottom of why Kwin was sucking 
a lot of my CPU. Relevant system details:
Nvidia system using Livna's packages, Desktop effects enabled just recently.

I have found that disabling VSync in System Settings > Desktop > Advanced has 
fixed this and there seems to be a slight improvement in the sound delays and 
far less chopping off of the events. I guess over the next few days I'll be 
sure if it has helped.

Related to heavy CPU usage maybe? perhaps this could help others.

Cheers
