I've seen this before, but kind of forgot about it.
I learned a few things. Gnome tales up more RAM than expected (comparitatively)
More people use KDE than I would have expected.
Interesting to note that lxqt doesn't support HiDPI.
It looks like this is a little dated. Gnome 4.2 has some options that show
as disabled on this page.
But I think it's a good base-line.
