This totally might be true, but the fact that he got as far as measuring the same latency on X and Wayland... and then just gave up and is like "well never mind what the measurements say, it's definitely Wayland"... Hmm.

You gotta do the measurements. It's probably not even that hard, all you need is a USB mouse emulator (any microcontroller with USB peripheral support can do this and there are tons of examples) and a photodiode.

You don't even need to worry about display latency if you are just comparing X with Wayland.

will absolutely do this, the microcontroller and mouse emulation part is solved for me already so I just need to get an appropriate photodiode and... profit
