I'm glad to say that's not quite the case; both Sun and the community  
are concerned about the performance and memory requirements of GNOME,  
and have been making gradual inroads into it for the past few releases.

Some of the Sun folks who've blogged about tackling various  
performance issues:

You can track, and contribute to, the community's work here:

Cheeri,
