No. That's definitely not where all the bloat is.
It's how it's programmed. Read the slides: if you spend too much time on doing useless things (at the same time), you'll end up with a slow program (that's only on reason of course).
Even a "hello world" type of program could be made sluggish that way.

Every report I read about GNOME tells of brave new features, background indexing, etc
If you want to run faster you need FEWER features not more of them. That way lies BLOAT, which is exactly the problem.
