Description

Created attachment 6610 the performance options dialog window from M. Windows XP

I remember M. Windows XP which provided a dialog window for performance options.

It allowed the end-user to tweak the look&feel experience from energy saving point of view (or cpu/memory usage point of view).

When searching energy efficient desktop environnements, users can use alternative to XFCE (like LXDE, Razor-qt, just OpenBox, i3, ...). However those environments seem to offer stacking or tiling-only window managers which have some drawbacks (like energy consumption when painting unnecessary windows).

This would allow XFCE to be installed on Netbooks.
