These days, Xfce and Plasma have comparable resource usage out of the
box, believe it or not. I saw a recent comparison, but have forgotten
where I saw it, but Plasma only squeaked out with slightly more
resource usage by a few MB. Means one or both of two things: Plasma is
more lightweight now and/or Xfce is heavier than in the past. If I can
find that comparison, I'll post it.

We're looking into that.


BTW, welcome to the team! Could you link us to your launchpad ID?
