I tried Xubuntu with LXDE installed and it gave no where near the performance that Lubuntu does.
All Lubuntu is is the Ubuntu core with LXDE desktop and a selected set of default apps. Likewise Xubuntu is the Ubuntu core with xfce desktop and a selected set of default apps. If a Xubuntu install running LXDE desktop is slower than a pure Lubuntu install, then it must be Xubuntu default apps running that are causing the slowdown, though it is hard to imagine what could be running that could make such a difference. Most of the overhead would normally be just the core and the desktop manager.
