It's finally time to compare KDE vs XFCE resource usages and performance! Which is faster? Which is "lighter"? Which provides the best gaming performance?

The versions of KDE Plasma Desktop and Xfce Desktop in question are:

KDE 5.18.5
Xfce 4.14.2

KDE is written with Qt whereas Xfce is written in GTK2/3.
