I keep hearing about these "fast" window managers.  But all they do is manage 
windows, after all.  I can't imagine them being much faster, except if you're 
low on memory and can't afford to run many GUI programs at once.

If you do run more than two or three programs at once, though, you're probably 
better off with a proper, integrated desktop, which shares as many libraries 
as possible between it all, thereby cutting down memory use.
