My environments have only been Windows file-based partitions, so I
can't really answer that question. My graphical desktop is XFCE4 on
gentoo via VNC. I give the instance 512MB RAM and its own swap. I
mainly run Mozilla or that Portage graphical thingy or Konsole. It's
not too bad to the point that I wonder if it will respond in 5
seconds, but then again, VNC/RDF to a remote Linux or Windows feels
faster to me, which makes this annoying. I can live with it. Actually,
I can live without it... so that's why I'm "text mode" only.

Maybe my problem is that I'm not trying "pure X", that is to say, X without=
 VNC.
