Which installable Other Distros have you tried and liked?

Adonis is big because it has a lot of packages included with it. Right now my favorite thing about it is the speed, it seems to be faster than other distros I've tried.

Is there any particular reason for the better speed? What is the desktop environment used in Adonis? I had a look at the screenshots but I cannot figure out what it is using.

It's using a modified version of Gnome 2, but others are also available.

The developer has changed deep system stuff to make it faster. Not sure about the technical side.
