This myth of the Xwayland performance hit needs to die already. Yes, in windowed mode X11 has some overhead because it does an unnecessary additional copy, but that’s exactly the same as on Xorg. In fullscreen though, Xwayland on average has better performance than Xorg.

Thats the biggest problem, On paper it has better performance but in reality it doesn’t! See my post here https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/17ipxp6/dota_2_x11_vs_xwayland_weird_results/
