That is odd.  I find GNOME2 to be extremely fast compared to GNOMe 1.4
or KDE.  My GNOME2 with Nautilus is faster than GNOME 1.4 without
Nautilus on the same machine.  Both are faster than KDE3.

I haven't tried Englightenment.  Of course GNOME2 is still slow and
heavy compared to OpenLook (the only other WM with which I have recent
experience).
