Some comparison testing on your set up sounds in order.
You'll get a lot of diff. responses to this question but.....
Kdm and gnome are killers......
I for one would run either Xfce or icewm. Icewm is quite cool.
One of the biggest problems I keep seeing over and over is watch
out for screen savers! I for one would configure nothing but a global "BLANK"
screen saver only, for all users. Screen savers will drag a system/net down in a big 
way!
