Exactly and that's my main beef with these DE comparisons. DEs don't exist in a vacuum but depend on which bistro they run on, and how well they're integrated in that particular distro as this affects stability and resources consumption.
I suspect if we were to tests all these DEs on Arch or OpenSUSE, some of these results would look completely different, at least for the major "gass-guzzers" like GNOME and KDE, so IMHO, the jury is still out on them.
Still, I appreciate that the author has gone through this effort for these tests.
