GPU acceleration isn't always faster. Wayland is supposed to be faster because it utilises the GPU. Well, Firefox had the same idea with WebRender. Now, when I scroll on my poor laptop's Intel HD 4000, both Firefox and Wayland are fighting over GPU resources resulting in less FPS compared to X11. The CPU is almost idle. 😅
