They say X is 'better' but doesn't it lack even basic VSync support to prevent screen tearing? I always remember awful performance when running X because everything stuttered with so much tearing on every system I used.
Yeah X11's tearing was a nightmare because it lacked proper compositing integration - the vsync had to be handled by a seperate compositor which led to all those stuttering issues you mentioned (and why gaming on X11 was so frustrating without a ton of tweaks).
