I think you're all barking up the wrong tree with this. As these are 
only run as a one off and not running all the time like a web browser 
the resources used, with in reason, don't really matter.  It's the 
usability aspect that matters.  Usability testing is what's needed.
One area both could be improved, and those are not the only offenders, 
is a help screen.
Last night I had another less than competent user try them both out. 
This users tends to work like this http://xkcd.com/763/ and they really 
struggled to find and install a spreadsheet program. They did however 
manage quite well with the Ubuntu Software centre. They did this last 
though, so could have learnt from their previous attempts with DSC and LSC.

So I repeat, resource use for both is still neither-here-nor-there until 
the usability problems are sorted.
