Which is more power efficient GNOME or LXDE?

Gnome: does less in idle state thus consumes more and can’t handle heavy load on low performing netbooks. Lxde: speed in tiny codebase. Doesn’t scale and doesn’t consume. Doesnt waste nor saves battery. Focus on performance. Compositing doesn’t matter because Intel gpu’s don’t save a lot, if any, power in an idle state. Great comparison Michael.
