gtk3 has terrible colour/theme support, having to experiment with css files until it works is a terrible hack.

However before this work, both Gtk 3 and Gtk 2 were loaded into memory so it was even more expensive.
Now that just Gtk 3 is needed; it will be heavier than a pure Gtk 2 version of Xfce but lighter than having to load both.
That said, many programs are still Gtk 2 so unless you only want to faff with the Xfce desktop, you will end up loading both libraries into memory anyway to actually do things.

and then compare it to 4.12 and maybe lxqt (i know it's not that polished but for really old machines it's interesting to see which one would eat less memory )

You also have to compile an amd-staging kernel even though you have an R9 390 and there is nothing in the staging kernel you actually need, but it's bleeding-edge so you has ta use it. From there you have to install XFCE from ___________ repository because they build it from source and include all the in-progress GTK3 code that makes XFCE even faster and lighter. After that you should watch my video hosted at ___________ where I discuss the remaining 57 tweaks that have to be done. If Michael could test that you all would see that my OS is the best there is and that KDE sucks and you're just wasting your time with that crappy low-latency fork of KWin that skeevy420 doesn't use at all because it's horrible and bloated and XFCE is just so much leaner and faster.
