Isn't that page more geared towards "Rip out stuff from GNOME and
replace some stuff with XFCE stuff" ? It doesn't seem to talk about
improving the CPU/memory reqs of GNOME itself.

I think people (and those poor celerons) are silently, um, clamouring
for a GNOME with a lighter footprint; not for a light GNOME-ish DE
(which is what XFCE is ;p).

Hence, v ken haz sum opteamaizashioners? :^)
