It's gotten much better with the latest x.org, gnome-shell and mutter, but experience from past versions has showed that benchmarks of games through xwayland needs to be taken with a grain of salt because they have historically not represented the subjective experience. The Phoronix Test Suite is clearly measuring the amount of frames being rendered, not the actual amount that is displayed on screen. There can be a big difference there depending on what the compositor is doing.
