Really cool research. Overall, X11 still wins compared to Wayland(kwin) but only by 0.14 - 0.22 ms. The really bad performance hit is from XWayland which added 3.13 ms.

    Average visual reaction time is ~15ms, but for sound it’s 5-8ms. That means that it can definitely be sensed, but nothing different than a slightly more laggy monitor.

      No it’s not, lol. Science considers reacting faster than 100ms impossible, Olympic sprinting rules consider that the false start limit and you get disqualified for starting faster.

      Go ahead, try to beat 100ms: https://humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime/

      No matter how fast you think you are there are physical limits to information distrubution in a biological machine.
