Unity interface

[Michael Haney]

I've also heard, that while it sits on top of Gnome 3 as its
foundation, the Unity UI is lightweight thus requiring fewer system
resources than the default Gnome desktop Ubuntu has previously been
using and still supports Compiz desktop compositing.  Unity was
originally designed for netbooks, so it is obviously going to have
lower system requirements.

Am I right?  Please clarify where I'm wrong if I am.

If I'm right what would this mean for lightweight derivatives like
Xubuntu?  I assume the Xubuntu group would still continue development
with XFCE.

Also, the group behind Lubuntu have been trying to get official
recognition status from Canonical like Xubuntu has.  They use LXDE
which is yet another lightweight DE.
