I tried both on my 200 Mhz Pentium system (Compaq Deskpro 4000) and I
switched back to Gnome because I missed all the nice little details
that have already been set up. If you spent some time you could
probably get many of them going in xfce.

In my opinion, Gnome runs fine on the 200 Mhz machine, though I think
I have something like 192 Mb RAM, and I just added a 200 GB hard drive
(I use the computer as a file server and scanner station).
