Windows 2000, SP3
Simplicity using the older installer gave 300 in 3DMark2001 compared to explorer (in explorer, I got 9675 repeatably)
My current theme, doing 3 Pixel Bliss from scratch with scripting and such, the way it should have been done, gives around 500.
So overall, it takes up fewer resources...but I garuntee you that there are many themes that will eat up more (though in most cases you won't actually notice a difference).
edit: on a P4 2.53 w/ that much RAM, you'll never notice a difference even with themes full of eye candy. I initially read the question and figured nobody asking that would have a 1GHz+ CPU :).
