Nonsens, KDE both 3 and 4 runs just fine on <1GHz machines. The eeePC are prof of that.

Running something so called "light" gives you nearly noting, it's an illusion. You still have to run applications, and the lighter alternatives does not provie a comprehensive application suite as KDE[1].

When you begin starting applications like browsers, emailclients, filemanagers and terminalwindows[2] the gain the lighter alternative gave you are more or less gone. As long as you don't exclusively use console applications that is, but since XFce are a GUI/DE you are supposed to use it as such.

[1]. You may end up running KDE applications anyway. Nothing wrong with that, but the 'it's lighter' argument are void.
[2]. Konsole with several tabs open are proven to use less resources than the same number of xterm windows
