I'm surprised you find nautilus slow - the new mode especially is fast
on my boxes. What sort of system are you running and do you have a lot
of say NFS files ?

Fedora Core 2 shipped with three desktops. Gnome, KDE and XFCe. The
XFCe desktop uses a lot less memory than KDE or Gnome although less
featureful.

For raw speed I've not seen anything to outperform RoX as a reasonably
featured file manager. Rox and XFCe work together very nicely.
