Personally, I stuck to the KDE primarily due to its extremely well-implemented RAD toolkits and extremely versatile widget toolkit (qt). I use it on my laptop on a daily basis (granted, my laptop is a 1 GHz monster, so maybe that is why I do not notice its "bloatedness"), and have yet to experience sound clipping due to gui manipulation (granted if I move full-size 1600x1200 window with an OpenGL animation/application in it, while playing 10 streams of sound, I am bound to get some kind of a sound-loss, but then again, I do not call that a normal way of doing a real-time performance either...
