There is no advantage to games and average applications preferring Wayland over X11 -- only severe performance and unusability regressions right now. Thus, we must revert this change until fifo-v1 and commit-timing-v1 are released and at least in a stable release for major compositors."

Does this mean I’ve been getting reduced performance for using Wayland when playing games? I haven’t noticed any difference but I haven’t been benchmarking.

I know I was seeing drastically reduced performance before switching back to X11.
