NT has been sluggish since _forever_. It is hardly a bloated GUI problem. On machines were 9x would literally fly NT would fail to boot due to low memory.
The point being, 3.x/9x and NT using the same GUI, yet NT consistently requiring up to 4 times more RAM. NT itself was ridiculously bloated, not the GUI.
