Hopefully the end user may notice a small speed increase as there are less libraries == hopefully less disk seeking... of course there is other stella work being done to speed things up too so with all that going on they may not notice... gnome 2.12 was slower due to cairo, gnome 2.14 should be faster because of all the little tweaks...

(I haven't been using linux+gnome since gnome 2.6 so when I go back come 2.14 it should be good for me!)
