On Debian 3.10-2.686-pae with the basic Intel driver. My machine is a dual-core 2.3 mhz and Mate runs fine. I have never attempted a Cinnamon install on Debian. On Fedora 3.11.4-201.fc19.i686 on the same machine Cinnamon is fast and responsive even with Compiz.
Keep in mind that we all have different needs. Regarding to resources and performance issues Cinnamon is unusable on my machine, while Mate theoretically could be usable.
