I found a benchmark site; Ant's cpu is significantly faster than my AMD; 
the single core is faster and then when you do more cores it is much 
faster.  But, the bottleneck is the 2G ram if you don't 'baby' that 
part.  You wouldn't want to use a 'fat' DE like Gnome or even Cinnamon. 
Personally I find some KDE is as lean as XFCE, but most are not as lean 
as Neon's, certainly not Deb's.  Even modern LXQt is not all that lean; 
if you want to go lean you need to drop down to a WM.  I like OB and 
some distro/s couple it w/ pieces from such as LXDE
