there are no themes that offer 'performance'

Many seem to think that because they use the standard xp theme, and 3dmark scores higher with that, that is a because the theme is better. The performance hit is just 0.01 like percentage difference.

However, once one set login screen etc, and logged in theme to simple classic, score is definitively higher.

This was one of the main reasons why win2003 had a superior 2d performance wise especially vs other operating system by as much as 50% (yes 50percent!) faster at certain test. As said because of it runs with classic theme NATIVELY. Of course one is insane if one think that performance difference comes from themes being used of course. But it does impact the overral response, at certain things. One can measure this difference with programs such as Passmark Performance Test.
