Q:

Which is lighter/quicker: LXDM or LightDM?

I am using lubuntu and I am just wondering whether it would be worth switching from the default LXDM to LightDM.  Are there any speed advantages of LightDM over LXDM?  (An answer with more than one work is preferred.)

A:

Lightdm depens upon gnome-settings-daemon, so requirements for lightdm ends up in two daemons. Lxde is only one daemon. It seems lxdm is lighter than lightdm in that respect.
