Correct, however, it doesn't matter if you run JWM or KDE4, when just
using a browser, on an averaged dual-core machine. There won't be
noticeable performance differences. I've got a Debian install on such a
dual-core machine with KDE4 and JWM installed.

Don't you spread confusion, a standard kde or gnome install "sucks" memory because of that, Awesome or JWM they run with a ridicoulus memory usage, so DE matters a lot on systems with 2gb of memory.

If you have daemons/services running in the background it matters, everything matters on machines of that kind if you don't need (ssh, cups, cron, ntp, at, syslog, exim, etc etc...)
