Do have any specific benchmark that shows declining performance?

One thing that comes to mind Windows XP was the last version without desktop composition. I don’t have hard numbers, but I would guess it adds more latency and requires more GPU memory than the Windows XP rendering system.

Just compare the minimum required hardware.

It isn't even possible to run Windows 11 on hardware that XP ran really well on.
