That's hardly a recommendation -- window managers are not very demanding of performance. Heck, you can run a window manager (xwem) implemented in Emacs Lisp (which in turn is based on X protocol implemented in Emacs Lisp -- xlib). Several SXEmacs guys do. (Not to mention anybody running sawfish -- librepl was basically Emacs Lisp on Ritalin.)
