Can speed of Wayland overtake the toll of emulating X?

[R .]

OK, so my test drive hasn't really been "fair", as I only tested Weston and not other Wayland implementations. But if you guys could suggest a less buggy and faster implementation, then please what is it? It'll save me the time, rather than trying each and every one.

So I've been test driving Wayland and it has more lag than LXDE (understandably), and, of course, will get better... But, I'm more concerned with backwards compatibility (and speed) with old X clients (until, of course they eventually, port to Wayland). Since XWayland is another layer, so will inherently will add toll, but can that be completely overtaken by the lightness and speed of Wayland? I really need a minimalistic and fast desktop environment, you see...
