If I recall correctly, Gnome was touted as lightweighter than KDE back when KDE4 was released :-)

Gnome was lighterweight than KDE for a long time. It genuinely surprised me to find Plasma to be as agile as it is, but I was happy to be surprised!

It's been a long time coming, Plasma was a massive resource hog and pretty unstable for the longest time. It's brilliant now, though.
