If you use Blackbox as you server GUI, you will save some CPU and memory. Your comment did get me interested in checking out several window managers. I tried 4: KDE, Gnome, IceWM and Blackbox. I found something interesting. On my computer, a Pentium 200 MHz with 128MB RAM, I did startx with each of the 4 and measured the time to finish painting
