Exactly, hence the reason I said the number of windows you have open could affect things. However there are cases where running a UI that uses graphics that are simpler and windows that are much smaller, etc.... could actually use less resources then the Default UI.
Regardless none of that changes the fact that the arguement of "When I hide my UI via F10 I get much better performance" so custom UI's decrease performace... is ridiculous. Its comparing apples and monkeys. Of course if you have NO UI regardless of what that UI is your going to see better performance, but that has nothing to do with debate of custom UI's taking more resources then the Default UI. Thats like me saying well if I run my UI on a 4ghz system with 4gig ram and 2x 7800 sli nvidia cards I dont have any problems with performace... so there must not be any difference between the Default UI and a custom UI. As I said, if there is a difference good luck meassuring it, and if a difference that small even matters... well perhaps one should look into other means of increasing performance.
