Desktop is not a showcase for displaying beautiful icons, neither its a garbage bin to dump all the applications on. Its a place that should be handle with most care, as carelessness with it affects your Mac performance.
Now, what do you get by caring your desktop? It simply means, not to over-clutter it with lots of files and folders. Every single icon on desktop is a small limpid window with graphic i.e icon inside. That means, if you have 100 icons on desktop you have 100 open windows, each one filching some memory.
