Have you measured that? Anyway, most of Enlightenment's "memory
appetite" is governed by your theme choice anyway. And you can turn
off a *lot* of bells and whistles in E to make it faster and/or
leaner (snapshots, fat backgrounds, SaveUnders). A solid colour
instead of a huge background pixmap can save megabytes.

I've been very happy with Window Maker and Gnome BTW, that is, before
I got Sawmill.
