XFCE is nice and similar to Gnome 2.x in both looks and performance.
Speed is relative to the machine. I have no issues with the Gnome3
interface on my machine, aside from a few functionality annoyances.
I switched from ubuntu to archlinux with xfce. The performance has
increased, but I believe that is in part due to installing just the
software I wanted. More importantly for me, xorg has stopped crashing on
my machine (which was a problem for me sometimes when I
attached/detached monitors with Gnome 2.x on a thinkpad t410).

I guess since we spend so much time with the latest Gnome or
Unity release, that we fail to realize how bad they are. Debian
gui interface flies. Click, and the display is immediately
updated. Try that with the three I mentioned.
Boot times also seems more quick.
The only issue i see and trust me it is on the horizon. is what
happens when wheezy comes out aka the next debian stable and your
forced onto gnome3 anyways.
I too run debian and am using gnome2 but i will not fight the
change that is coming. The only thing left is someone continues
patching gnome 2.3x and adding features but it seems so far that
nobody is up to the task.
The distro's themselves just repackage the upstream product and so
that means no more gnome2 since upstream has next to dropped it.
I remember when gnome first came out and everyone including me
hated it and preferred kde .
