If you're using KDE apps in XFCE then you've gained nothing by
switching to the lighter desktop. The KDE apps depend on KDE libraries
that will get loaded in XFCE as well.

It's true that the KDE libs are pulled in of course, but not that there is
nothing to be gained from not use the KDE DE:

6. Web browser

A very common usage case :). In addition a web browser is launched, showing a
random WWW site, specifically http://dot.kde.org ;). Browsers used were KDE's
Konqueror, GNOME's Epiphany and Firefox 1.0.6. To show how applications work
when not in their native desktop I measured all of them in all desktops:
Desktop + browser Usage Diff
KDE + Konqueror 95.3 (83.8) 9.5 (11.5)
KDE + Firefox 108.0 (90.4) 22.2 (18.1)
KDE + Epiphany 112.5 (91.5) 26.7 (19.2)
GNOME + Epiphany 127.7 (114.6) 17.3 (11.6)
GNOME + Firefox 133.6 (118.8) 23.2 (15.8)
GNOME + Konqueror 136.5 (113.3) 26.1 (10.3)
Xfce + Firefox 80.2 (73.2) 21.2 (12.2)
Xfce + Epiphany 82.6 (72.4) 24.3 (11.4)
Xfce + Konqueror 84.4 (71.6) 26.1 (10.6)
WMaker + Firefox 69.9 (65.9) 18.5 (6.2)
WMaker + Epiphany 74.3 (65.9) 22.9 (6.2)
WMaker + Konqueror 80.2 (65.1) 28.8 (5.4)

Point being:

Gnome DE running Konqueror: 136MB
KDE DE running Konqueror: 95MB
Xfce DE running Konqueror: 84MB
