XFce is not fast

I've used it on Gentoo and Debian. I went back to KDE. XFce pre version 4 was snappy, but 4 is slow. Slower than KDE at least. But it surely does look good :-) The part of being lightweight... I don't know where it comes from, it must be because people think traditionally - as, like I said, XFCE used to be lightweight before GTK2 and eyecandy was implemented. Must be the doom of any "lightweight" DE - the addition of modern looks.
