I built a device to measure end-to-end input latency, then used it to find out what actually moves the needle.

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.

    Whenever US players find themselves on one of the AU hosted World of Warcraft servers with 200ms latency they can’t stop complaining about how awful the game is to play.
