The Gnome developers finally started taking performance seriously a year
or two ago and they have done a great job.  Also the realtime kernel
makes it much less likely that any display activity will perturb your
audio.

Unless you're stuck with a massively underpowered machine, use the WM
that has the features you want.  They all perform OK these days.
