Saving files to desktop recommended?

[3WM]

I have 2 gigs of stuff on my desktop.

Its not going to slowdown my mac will it?

I keep my mac on all the time so start-up time is no concern if thats even a concern cause i remember back in my pc days reading you should keep your desktop clean for fast load up.

I also found some script that hides all the stuff on my desktop so it looks empty and i access my desktop files through Finder if that makes any dif.

Desktop is just a folder among others. It's not going to slow it down but I prefer keeping my desktop as clean as possible

It can slow things down some, but depends more on the number of items than their file size. The slow down comes from icon previews. I've hard people having things crash because the Desktop was having trouble generating the icon previews for 2000 files on the Desktop. That was an extreme, but those previews do take resources. You can turn off icon previews for the desktop as well to help with that.
