TDE vs LXDE, LXQT and XFCE

Hi to everyone!
A simple question: how much is lightweight TDE in comparison with LXDE, LXQT and XFCE? Is it, perhaps, a middleweight? If it can be of interest, here is a discussion about ''lightness''.

Thanks for the attention and have a nice evening/day.

Re: TDE vs LXDE, LXQT and XFCE

LXDE is close to dormant as LXQT has taken over.  LXQT is lighter than XFCE but TDE is lighter than both of them. If I had to rate LXDE Id say its about the same as TDE. Im sure if you look around a bit online, youll find some good comparisons of these DEs.
Today with even low end computers using better processors and far more ram, the discussion of lightweight distros really doesnt come up as much. Only users of older hardware are looking for alternatives.
