If you're running GNOME, you might want to go with one of the former
default (more or less) GNOME wms. I.e. Enlightenment
(http://enlightenment.org/ - I personally hate this one) or Sawfish
(http://sawmill.sourceforge.net/ - pretty neat, even though it's not
ratpoison (http://ratpoison.nongnu.org/)).

Sawfish is probably your best bet if you want something more memory- and
CPU-efficient.
