Can you clarify what you mean by "light" and "heavy"?

Here are some starting points:
- Disable Desktop Effects with Shift+Alt+F12 and in System Settings -> Desktop Effects.
- Disable the file indexer in System Settings -> Desktop Search and possible also Nepomuk Semantic Desktop.
- In System Settings -> Application Appearance -> Style, click on Fine Tuning and select one of the Low CPU options for Graphical effects.
- In System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Service Manager, disable services you don't need.
- Remove plasmoids you don't use on the desktop and panel, specially those that are updated frequently (e.g. system monitors).
- Look in the system tray and quit applications you don't use.

I think that's about it. Hm, it would be nice with a UserBase wiki page about it...
