I'm hearing this first time. I tend to thing there's no comparison 
between the 2, LXDE is way too low on resources, so low that it's 
preferred even on servers cause of it's negligible overhead and everyone 
seems to share a similar opinion. I being a former Xfce user confirm this.

Even on Gentoo, emerging Xfce with mininal useflag requires merging of 
54 packages while merging of lxde requires 35 with less than half the 
download size.

By this we can easily see the amount of source involved.
