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.

When I find myself on servers like that in any game I pretend I'm training for operating a Martian Rover and see it as an extra challenge. I just hope the ping in consistent.
