Ubuntu 18.10 is much slower with Wayland than X.org
I have just recently installed Ubuntu 18.10 on my desktop. There is an issue which I can't understand: if I start a session with Wayland (choosing this while logging in), the system noticeably slower. I mean, even the mouse and typing are with a small (but noticeable) delay. If I run htop, I see that all the cores are constantly 40-50% busy, and the most CPU-hungry processes are gnome-shell.
System info
Output of inxi -SCG (v. 3.0.24-00) under Wayland:
System:
Host: mydesktop Kernel: 4.18.0-13-generic x86_64 bits: 64
Desktop: Gnome 3.30.1 Distro: Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish)
CPU:
Topology: 6-Core model: Intel Core i5-9600K bits: 64 type: MCP
L2 cache: 9216 KiB
Speed: 1482 MHz min/max: 800/4600 MHz Core speeds (MHz): 1: 2315 2: 2317
3: 2318 4: 2318 5: 2320 6: 2320
Graphics:
Device-1: Intel driver: i915 v: kernel
Display: wayland server: X.Org 1.20.1 driver: i915
resolution: 3840x2160~30Hz
OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 7.0 256 bits) v: 3.3 Mesa 18.2.2
Under X.org, the output is the same but CPU speeds are much lower (around 800 MHz) and also Display is x11 instead of wayland.
I have a built-in graphic card, the motherboard is ASRock Z390 Extreme4.
Disclaimer: I am not that advanced Ubuntu/Linux user.
Where can I look into the problem in my Ubuntu? What to start with?

Please update your post with the output ofinxi -SCG -! 31 -y 80. Also if you made edits to/etc/gdm3/custom.conf. Yoy could help developers by debuging wayland with this tool (here in discurse).

Maybe you have an older version ofinxi(mine is 2.3.56-00 (2018-01-17)). Don't worry, just the output ofinxi -SCGshould be OK. Did you update your drivers withsudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall? You can compare both with some benchmark tool likegtkperfor pts (phoronix-test-suite package) and edit your question with the results.
