I guess if you are very resource constrained it would help. Audio
performance won't be affected, your desktop just might get slower if you
run into swap. But I was referring to the general case.

though if you have limited memory it can still help, right? I.e if the
system needs to swap because of a big desktop running? Not that i
really know, i run KDE and i've got 2GB ram ;)

Yes. With a kernel patched for realtime, or a recent unpatched 2.6
kernel, the choice of desktop/window manager will have no impact on
realtime audio performance (as measured by number of xruns), as long as
JACK is running in realtime mode.
The belief that stripping down your desktop will improve realtime audio
performance is a holdover from the bad old 2.4/early 2.6 days.

Disagree, using Fluxbox over Gnome is not likely
to make a difference
with a recent kernel.

Lee, do you think that the same can be said about KDE rather than Gnome?
