I'm running Xfce 4.6 from unstable and it doesn't seem more bloated to me although it did gain some additional tools (which come in very handy for my laptop). As for speeding up the bootprocess: # aptitude install dash # dpkg-reconfigure dash # let it take over the /bin/sh link # aptitude install insserv # dpkg-reconfigure insserv # echo "CONCURRENCY=shell" >> /etc/default/rcS If you want to measure the increase use bootchart.
