I run E0.16 on one of my low-end boxes (P90, 128mb RAM, 1mb S3Vision) and it's not lightening quick, but cetainly usable. If I were to load Windoze on to this box with themes and stuff, it would die. I can build E on this box in the time it takes to have a good crap.
Surely you're not stupid enough to think these guys don't test on run-of-the-mill boxes? Have a look at the source for E; these guys know what they're doing. If I were you, I'd be looking at tuning my configuration before flaming the performance of E. Given the serious use of pixmaps etc. I think it smokes...
What a crock... I HAVE to run NT at work (argggh!) on a PII 400 with 256mb RAM and it SUCKS! AND with no fancy graphics... now I can understand you're use of 'AC' alias (I'll bet you're a VB programmer too...)

To the 30-odd countries in the world who play on grass, it's called 'Hockey' ... to the small number of countries who play on ice, who cares?

And yeh, we are world champions in Hockey, and yeh, I love vegemite too
