I was shocked when the latest kspectacle came out with the dependence on opecv (1.5 Gb library which take good part of an hour to compile on a laptop) with additional numpy dependence.

Not quite.
Code:
 * media-libs/opencv-4.9.0-r2
         Total files : 1056
         Total size  : 62.38 MiB

You are a Gentoo user, right?

But still, you're citing an application, when this thread was about library usage.

"Old" is not the same as minimal, is not the same as lightweight or fast.

So I would guess it's quite lightweight to run on modern machines.
It was only my guess. A wild throw, if you will.
Best way to know would be to install it and try it out for some time. Then decide if it's lightweight enough for ones needs.

Understood OP does not want "wayland" But,

Just want to check in case the X version search is fruitless and there is actually a "better" minimalism wayland setup, Is such thing exist?

Of course they exist, but at this point you should reconsider where you are. Going on that tangent will not be well received by the OP. There may be a better existing thread but let me just refer you (and other readers) to https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1132167.html

TL;DR
gui-wm/labwc seems one of the lightest WM, wayland however.
Recently read somewhere gui-wm/labwc is the Fedora current desktop base, iirc.

Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support.
