That's true. So, I would say there is an unspoken emphasis in my comment that you also need to do it "right". Personally my X setup looks a lot like the 90s, and when people say X performs so terribly, I really don't see it. The hardware runs circles around what I used to run X on 20 years ago, and the software setup isn't really very different. But most people when they use X or think of X are thinking of a really heavy desktop environment.
