As we have talked much about comparison matrices (in combination with 
distros), there a subpage containing a matrix comparing popular window 
managers:

It's nice. ROX flies on a Pentium 90, even when opening a folder with 
many hundred files. It doesn't support PDF thumbnail previews like 
Konqui and Nautilus, but you can preview all image files (gif, jpg, 
etc.). It supports TAB completion like bash and has many small 
innovations. You can use it to put shortcuts on the root window 
(desktop). By combining it with a window manager you can have a 
lightweight desktop environment. Everything is instaneous!
