I'm trying Wayland lately.

Works great on my laptop, but if I connect my monitor, after a while composites become insanely slow, to the point of not being able to type while Firefox is on the monitor.

Here's a profile showing the 200ms+ composites:

Mostly waiting on poll() / socket(). This happens with WebRender enabled, but also (I think to a lesser extent, but that may be just subjective) with it disabled.

Martin, I'm not sure there's much actionable here, at least on Firefox's side, but filing just in case there is or this rings a bell to any of you :)

Can you please try latest nightly? There was some improvements with event processing. Also Bug 1554525 has some optimizations for Wayland rendering.

I think this is much better now. I can no longer split screen though, so the code-paths triggered may not be the same, but I'm happy to call this WFM.
