This user will sure notice being able to do smooth video playback with compositing enabled. In X today, this is the source of many glitches (missed retraces, or worse).

Hum, don't mistake Wayland for a cure of all the issue..

Why are there glitches in the case you describe?
If this is driver related, Wayland won't help..
