it is probably because you have a relatively powerful graphics card and more
than average amount of RAM - a very common developer myopia: designing for
the dev box specs (which are usually much higher than the average machine),
rather than targeting the lowest common denominator - historically,
dynebolic has been known to be very lean, and able to run on the slowest
computers - an audio workstation should be lean, to avoid high-performance
eye-candy from impeding the audio processing - even XFCE is a relatively
heavy DE compared to others available - the original dynebolic used fluxbox,
for example - have a gander at this chart for a comparison:

that chart is about 10 years old now - probably the ones heavier than LXDE
have grown significantly, but LXDE and those lighter than LXDE have not grown -
'razorqt' is what is known today as 'LXQT' (also not as light as people may think)

i attached a patch file - those are the changes we make to iceweasel,
in order to support mozarella and to hide mozilla's automated
recommendations of add-ons
