How does that Pentium handle Wayland?
It (somehow) runs surprisingly smooth. It can even handle GNOME and KDE Plasma pretty well.
How about apps? In my case there's often a difference in app opening, as well as computational speed and latency in real-time use cases such as audio visualization.
Firefox opening on cold-boot opens in ~15sec and around 5 on subsequent opens. It can run YouTube at 720p fine, but at 1080p it sometimes stutters.
Minecraft without performance mods gets ~15-35FPS, with mods it gets ~60-85FPS.
SuperTuxKart can be played on graphics level 4, but it's super laggy on a few specific tracks (~5-10FPS), so I usually play on level 2, which consistently gets me 50FPS.
OpenTTD runs smooth (solid 60FPS), but for some reason when it hangs, it hangs my entire computer and I have to force restart to get out of it.
That's just how Wayland works.
It does the same on X though.
Oh in my case it's not that bad on X11 but I don't play that specific game.
