Gnome uses a lot of function which can slow down your system, yes.

This is due to the exec of gnome session. You should not strat anything from
the .xsession. gnome-session can be used to start the window-manager, too. I
stoped using the session support in gnome since every now and then i loses
all session cvonfiguration (including panel and background) and i was too
anyed that i am not able to make a backup of the session. So my file looks
like this:
background-properties-capplet --init-session-settings &
gmc --nowindows --disable-sound &
/usr/bin/X11/icewm-gnome &
panel --disable-sound --sm-disable
