How does this do for processing overhead?
I have been using fluxbox on my "performance" machine because it is 
lightweight but there are some features that I would like to have that 
don't seem supported in that manager. I use gnome 2.10 on my other 
machine because there isin't much you can do to make a pentium 700mHz 
speedy enough to do a lot of realtime processing.

Lets say your building a machine for live realtime processing 
performance using PD: what windomanager is lightweight enough to not 
draw too much CPU power away from the audio apps, yet has a "desktop" 
and a customizable menubar able to do menus inside of menus?

fluxbox cant seem to display a "desktop" and iconbox only does icons 
and isin't really a menu system.
