Sorry for spamming :-D I just had to add this...

Running "metacity-theme-viewer SandSkater" and looking under the
Benchmark tab I see that the SandSkater theme renders three times faster
than the Clearlooks-metacity theme (and three times faster than Glider
too - which should be comparable to the Breezy default theme).

This together with the ultra light Mist theme engine, which the
SandSkater GTK theme is based upon, really makes a HUGE responsiveness
difference on my olde 700MHz box.

Just thought you should now. Anyways - profiling the metacity theme with
metacity-theme-viewer is a nice trick I just discovered.

Cheers
Mikkel
