Similar but with XFCE, it rarely feels sluggish and I nearly always know why.

I had a laptop celeron 600mhz running xfce and abiword (I think it was xubuntu 14.04 or something) with no networking (only a dialup modem was available). It was a great, responsive typewriter with formatting and backspace!

Aye, for me XFCE is the sweet spot of does what I want without getting in the way and speed.

It's funny really because I mostly use it on an 8 core 32GB Ryzen 1700 desktop.
