The main factor in custom UIs causing lag is most likely the graphics/artwork/eye candy of the windows. The more artwork involved, the more your GPU has to work to draw it, thus taxing your CPU to process the extra work.
The more (textual) information displayed can also produce lag (which is also caused by the GPU taxing your CPU).
