Xubuntu is actually pretty bloated in slow, in some tests even worse than the standard Ubuntu install. (see <http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7520/1.html&#62 http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7520/1.html> ). Lubuntu, which is the "official" Ubuntu sub-distro for light fast iso for small-spec computers runs on LXDE instead of XFCE and is purportedly much better on resources and faster. I think the real reason why Xubuntu is so bad is because all the other junk from Ubuntu Gnome got packaged in with Xfce and got called Xubuntu.
