Not if you delete the comments! I've been using fvwm since about 1995 and have found it to be consistently faster than everything but twm (ugh), especially in starting up. What's more, I can configure it so that it looks _nothing_ like Windoze. And I still use it on my trusty old laptop, a 33MHz 486 thinkpad!
Hm. In that case, I might have a closer look at it. Last time I looked I found fvwm horribly confusing, but that was a few years ago. I settled on ice because it's small and easy and I don't need an enormous amount of configurability from my WM, but a few things with ice are beginning to annoy me; perhaps I'll switch..
