Same here, switching from i3 to sway resulted in a noticeably more responsive experience on my aging hardware. Of course, this is just an anecdote, and I could probably get the same results on X with some fiddling, but I do think the value of simpler and more modern systems is demonstrated here.

I’d be interested in seeing similar benchmarks done on x11+i3 vs sway.

There’s nothing Wayland-specific that would introduce this latency, so I wonder if wlroots/sway have any additions lag.
