To be fair, in addition to a different desktop environment, Trisquel Mini also has different default applications (Midori instead of Abrowser, Abiword instead of LibreOffice Writer, etc.) but even this probably doesn't make a huge difference. The lowest-spec machines I have are my ASUS Eeepc netbooks (cheapest laptops I could find with an "A" rating on h-node), which have 1GB of RAM. I found that a very light window manager (Icewm) was noticeably more responsive than full desktop environments, but I notice no difference between LXDE and MATE, though both run a little better than GNOME. I also notice no difference between Midori 7 and Abrowser.

Probably not, if they don't explicitly go out of their way to do so. The FSDG are pretty strict, and meeting them requires addressing some non-obvious issues.
