  Certainly not true. Go to the proper system setting configuration dialog
and turn off display hardware acceleration and then try eg. dragging a window
around. See if you can notice any difference between the CPU doing all the
work vs. the display hardware doing it.

  Oh, you would want your CPU usage to be 100% all the time (with the
increased power consumption) and all the RAM consumed by the kernel so
that it would be impossible to run any actual applications? That doesn't
make any sense.

  So you would want a 4GB RAM disk? And exactly how do you expect to run
any application after that? (And what if an application would want to use
4 GB of memory?)
