You guys need to get over the dependency thing. It is just NOT a big deal! No, your system will not be "bloated" from having extra libraries installed. Unless you are running your system on a 386 with 8 Mb RAM, this is simply not an issue. You only get the false illusion of 'optimizing' your system, when what you really get is a millisecond here and there, making absolutely no difference at all.
No, you cannot feel the difference. If you think you can, it's an illusion. Human-Computer Interaction is generally not a very quick process, and when computers seem sluggish, it is always because of poorly written programs that brings the hardware to it's knees (such as using the wrong algorithm on the wrong type of data, leaking memory leading to thrashing, etc.).
Linux, however, is not poorly written, and neither is Gnome or any of it's dependencies. And neither are Compiz/Beryl.
