The lightest and fastest would be Blackbox. Since it's the lightest, it's quite
bare-bones in functionality. GNOME and XFce are desktop environments, and so are
a little heavier, but faster than KDE (I personally use GNOME, and I love its
power and flexibility). The others are somewhere in between. I suggest that you
try them all and make up your own mind.
