"Buffer swaps will happen every 16ms, when the X server tells xwayland it has new content and Weston tells the kernel to display it. Putting X atop Wayland will actually "reduce the context switches to once every 16ms", which may make it perform better than native X, Packard said."

What will happen if you have a 120 hz/fps monitor?

Then you'll have an 8ms buffer swap interval, and you'll have pony icecream.
