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.

How does that Pentium handle Wayland?

It (somehow) runs surprisingly smooth. It can even handle GNOME and KDE Plasma pretty well.

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.

Seems very efficient!
