The big problem *ISN'T* GNOME vs XFCE. The problem is the (large)
hit
we take on performance with squashfs decompression. So with the

images, things have been changed a bit so that we can instead use the
ext3fs and take decompression out of it. Which makes an impressive
amount of difference
I'm running the new snap1 image without compression, and I'm not seeing a huge
difference. It is a bit snappier, but unless I do some surgery, it still freezes once all
the RAM is consumed.
I would say as for performance, on a scale of 1 to 10, you've gone from perhaps a 3 to
a 4. The gains I see aren't all that spectacular, especially considering all the
folks with 2 Gig cards are SOL now.
