Wow. Thanks for the detailed reply. I'll add that to my notes. I'm curious to see how this plays out with wlroots and how people will build on it to bring the something like variety of window manager X has to Wayland.
Using Xwayland for a significant number of things makes me curious about how much overhead it adds. The only article I found was from 2014 and it showed it adding significant overhead. Anyone know of any newer data?
- shmerl 9y agoI don't think it should add a lot of overhead. Performance wise it shouldn't be any worse than regular X.

- shmerl 9y agoThanks. I should run some Witcher 3 in Wine benchmarks with XWayland. Though currently TW3 suffers from low performance regression in general, so it won't be very conclusive. Also, I suspect some of it can be compositor specific.
