What about pure Wayland instead of XWayland? Because as far as I understand, XWayland will always be slower than X.

For Mir it is "regression"
For Wayland it is "promise"
Please, now compare with XMir before composite bypassing.
Also, XMir expected you to run your whole desktop with such a performance hit, while XWayland is only to allow legacy apps to run. The desktop, and preferably everything, is expected to be ran natively. I'm really glad they changed their mind for 13.10, and I hope they do the same for 14.04 (either to go pure Mir, or to stay with X.org; I'd be extra happy if they'd go Wayland, but that would be dreaming too much).
Anyway, I did expected something titled as "promising" to show at least the same performance as pure X.org.

Easy to switch to and use, Excellent!
For the "Wayland Tech Preview" in Fedora 20 the developers hope to make it fairly easy to try out Wayland by having it be an experimental option from the log-in screen.

A window without decorations would behave as if it was fullscreen.
Since Wayland compositing should be lighter than X, windowed games should perform great (when performance issues are fixed)

This has nothing to do with xwayland really. We currently do not try to let games by pass the compositor at all when running under wayland (yet). First you make thinks work and then you make it fast. Currently we are focused on getting stuff to run on wayland, it is a tech preview for a reason.
