Did you not read the article? He makes a direct comparison between two window managers and the different levels of performance they provide. The system software obviously matters.
Moreover, there's huge benefits to optimizing the performance, even from a corporate perspective. There's just often not many market driven reasons to do so, and so many companies are willfully blind to this truth.
