"If you're planning on using Fluxbox, the key is, like everything in Linux is that you learn a little something and have fun doing it. Experiment with different styles and configuration. That is one of the advantages to this type of window manager - you can make it look like you want."

I concur. According to the test below, Fluxbox is not so great at spawning multiple windows...but I've tried Fluxbox for a few months myself and it seems (to me at least) that GNOME and KDE both "feel" slower at generating multiple windows than Fluxbox. How weird.
, window managers in themselves are not what makes a desktop fast or slow. It's all the other stuff: panels, sound daemons, scrollers, gadgets, you know them.
Here's another similar test, FWIW:

But I have to agree. These tests are syntetic. In real life no user will need to open 100 windows as fast as possible. And while I'm sure there's some kind of autosuggestion involved too
