No, no.  CURRENT and up-to-date GUIs.  Not just older stuff
that worked with less power behind it.  Turning OFF the
eyecandy mighty be as close as we can get, but you still
pay the disk-space penalty for it being there.   I don't
THINK there is a lot of stuff in a modern UI that requires
the sort of CPU power that it ends up using (ok, it's nice
that window contents display as the window is dragged, and
that probably takes quite a lot of resources, but I COULD
live without it...)
