Latency actually is increased on Wayland: https://mort.coffee/home/wayland-input-latency/ and Dedoimedo's Wayland articles.
Please correct me if I'm wrong and provide a source.
Their measurements are correct but not surprising, Wayland triple buffers everything on desktop. Currently triple buffering is only disabled in fullscreen applications, when the compositor supports it.
I wanted to take my own measurements with the newer tearing control protocol but didn't get to it yet.
