But it would surely be good to have a low-resources alternative which would speed up actually computing for all those who care about those things. It is called getting the extra bang for the buck. Why is this important? If you have something consuming more resources, less is going to be available for those computing jobs which have a set amount of need. Compare the performance of xubuntu with ubuntu or kubuntu and you will have an idea about what I am mentioning here.
