Have you tried turning all the bells an whistles off? You can turn all the 
sliding/fading effects off. I've been using Windowmaker for a while and 
found that it is a very fast WM, it takes a bit of getting used too after 
coming from the likes of KDE, Gnome or Windows.

Hope this helps,

Christian
