FYI: Among the 4 desktops KDE, GNOME, Xfce and LXDE, LXDE is the least resource hungry one: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_desktop_vitals&num=1
But please use these numbers carefully and don't take them to serious. Phoronix's tests are known to be doubtful and not really in depth, e.g. they do not name any details about how they logged in and which apps were running. If you use GDM as the login manager, you have a whole lot of GNOME stuff loaded and if you use a GTK+ based benchmark suite inside of KDE, you need to load additional libs that are already loaded on the other desktops. Nevertheless I wanted to share this with you.
