Due to what you get with WindowMager, I was surprised to see
WindowMaker was in the top 3 of lightest window managers.
The only ones that was lighter was icewm and ctwm. To me,
the people who did WindowMaker really knows their stuff!
I first discovered it when I was looking for a WM that was lightweight
to run comfortably on an old UltraSparc box but featureful enough to
feel comfortable. It's been my go-to ever since.
