Blackbox will be OLD, and WindowMaker will be stale, not sure about IceWM. I use unstable on my home box (rather powerfull, lots of memory) with Gnome 1.2 & WindowMaker 0.64. I use stable on my laptop (P120, 32MB) with no Gnome and Blackbox 0.61, sourced from testing and compiled for stable. Both run fast for their respective hardware platforms, and I'm actually really surprised how responsive Blackbox is on my old laptop.
