I disagree with this point, I have loaded ubuntu 9.04 with Gnome then installed LXDE on top I have also loaded alt ubuntu 9.04, with CLI only, then apt-get'd LXDE. I can tell you there is quite a difference in speed when loading desktop apps, especially Firefox, with our Gnome pre-loaded firefox snaps up on my screen, with Gnome it is noticably slower... I think this is caused by all the extra libs needed for Gnome which are pre-loaded, and also some of the services that would be running as well. Not entirely sure though... But I do know it is slower... without a doubt.
