I actually have and had a lot of trouble believing that. However, the 
experience was already slow enough on X11 that I didn't bother to even 
force Wayland to try. Nevertheless, the computer is rather snappy with 
Linux Mint which uses X11 by default.

The only benefit of Wayland for me would have been the trackpad 
gestures. Other than that, I don't really notice anything different 
between one and the other except for the fact that discrete things 
suddenly don't work once Wayland is enabled. I know it's the future and 
everything, but I can't help but think that it still isn't ready.
