Sawmill is very fast, but it's very bare bones by default.  You have to use
a separate program such as Esetroot, which comes with Eterm, to set the 
background, for example.  It's highly configurable as well --if you want to 
take the time to learn a little lisp.
Also, if you build it from the port, it will pretty much build gnome along
with it unless you do 'make install -DNOGNOME'.
