Startup time would probably be the biggest currently-known issue. Right
now, xfce4-session doesn't start up apps in parallel, and it should, for better
startup time. 

Other than that, I'm not sure. Profiling, and posting the profiles,
would probably be the biggest step forward -- ie, figure out where the
memory is allocated, where CPU time is spent on startup, look for
unshared segments that could be shared, etc. Find the allocations, run every
program in memprof and post the results, etc.

Good luck.
