Used to be ugly back in Fedora Core 1 and very unstable, crashes a couple of times everyday back then.
Since 4.10 I am more than happy to use it as my main desktop. It is very stable on Arch Linux and even Kubuntu (not sure why they call it Kubuntu, I would still say it is Ubuntu + KDE).
Then you are using pre-Sandy Bridge graphics, or manually enabled tearfree in Xorg, which has a performance hit. XFCE does not have an OpenGL page flipping compositor, so it can not do tear free on recent Intel GPUs. The situation could get worse: there was a warning from an Intel developer that non-pageflip compositors might not work at all on the next generation of GPUs, due to enhanced power saving.
your right, xorg was customized... interesting though, I never new about this problem changed it because of an unrelated problem with my plasma screen.
First, one would have to transform the results properly, such as e.g. "more" is better for every plot and then scale the results so that the winner has a value of one (and thus all others are lower than 1).
Yes, ponderating the average. So users can see what is the result which offers the best solution.
Micheal could you make the average of all results?

Cinnamon here gace good results in almost all tests except rendering GTK widgets. I cannot even measure a framerate difference in a light or a heavy game between Cinnamon and IceWM. On the other hand, the GTK widget test shows the responsiveness problem Cinnamon and the older gnome-shell on which it is based are known for. Not a problem on my big machines, they respond just fine with Cinnamon and in fact it's my favorite DE. The netbook, however, shows faster battery consumption using it and responsiveness definately takes a hit. MATE over compiz ran better but still used more battery, so that machine stays on IceWM for maximum battery life and the ability to play 720P video on an Intel Atom Pine Trail single-core.
KDE is the best and most complete desktop environment for now, no wonder.
GNOME 3 (gnome-shell) is broken, as a long time GNOME user (since 2001) I was totally pissed off when they decided to remove gnome fallback mode (which works with Compiz). GNOME 3 challenges the habit of a 10+ years user, just like Windows 8.
I am now more than happy to use KDE 4.13 on Arch, keep rolling into future Plasma Next :_D BTW: I was once pissed off by KDE when it was around 3.5, so unstable.
KDE Plasma Next has full hardware acceleration and should be faster. When running games full screen, better to start it from a light weight WM.
