AFAIK this isn't true, but when Debian updated my GNOME 2 to GNOME 3 a
long time ago, GNOME 3 and GNOME 3 in "fake GNOME 2" mode did need much
more CPU resources, than GNOME 2 did need.
Xfce4 and LXDE anyway do provide the common workflow, that is used by
studios. I guess most engineers are accustomed to a workflow similar to
KDE3, GNOME2, Win 98 se, Win XP etc..
IMO both, Xfce and LXDE are very good to use and I don't miss that much
of what I was accustomed to, when I used GNOME 2. I recommend not to use
GNOME 3.
