I measured its memory consumption and that of openbox (which was claimed to be faster and lighter) and I could not find any difference between the two. So, I vote for fluxbox, which I have already been using for quite some time and am pretty satisfied with it. Before using fluxbox, I used to use Window Maker, but the problem is that I wanted more space for my space and the dock is either occupying horizontal space or hidden by maximized windows. With fluxbox, I don't have this problem, since I can use the very same applets that I am used to and fluxbox's "dock" (it's called slit) has an autohide function that works the way I want (i.e., it hides itself and comes to foreground when I move the mouse cursor on it). I also have some handy keyboard shortcuts and I rarely need to use the mouse, but I can, if I want.
