boredsquirrel,

What tests?

Lightweight has many many things that might decrease performance, for example

  • bad multithreading
  • bad available RAM utilization
  • general under-supported and thus not supporting the latest stuff (like vsync)
  • not supported by Valve, which is likely a big thing

But for sure having less bloat helps, but that is constant, while optimization helps relatively to the load.

Light sway might have a smaller constant footprint, kwin a bigger one. But kwin might scale better.

The software you run is often waaay bigger than the Desktop etc.
