I was thinking this morning that as fast as TDE seems compared to other DEs, that the fastest system I have seen is Windows for Workgroups (WFWG) 3.11 on my 450 MHz K6-III+ CPU with 256 MB of RAM. WFWG is 16-bit and designed for 486 CPUs with 16 MB of RAM or less. I well remember the first time I migrated WFWG from my 486 to my 586. I was dumbfounded by the huge increase in speed. I never have seen anything as fast since although TDE comes close.
If memory serves, we had a much earlier thread about TDE's speed, and somebody posted links about comparisons among various DEs. TDE was the fastest among the more "robust" desktops (as is, full of features, etc.). Only the really barebones minimalist desktops were maybe a little faster.
Perhaps somebody else here remembers that thread, or can help us by finding some such link with comparisons of various DEs?
