Hyper-typematic and Firefox responsiveness in Weston.

[peter@easthope.ca]

Hi,

Debian 11 is easily arranged so that "startx" or "weston" can be 
issued at the console command line.  That allows simple qualitative 
comparisons.

In weston, keyboard response can be hyper-typematic.  The briefest 
keypress can give at least two instances of the key action; sometimes a 
half dozen.  That includes backspace.  Consequently keyboard input is 
impossible. This happens not in every instance of weston but often 
enough to be a nuisance. Has anyone else observed this?

According to documentation, Firefox works natively in Weston.  Ie. 
Firefox doesn't work through Xwayland. With Wayland intended to be 
more efficient than X11 I expect Firefox to be more responsive on 
Weston than on X11.  Nevertheless Firefox is noticeably slower on 
Weston. Anyone else observed this?

Thanks & best regards,             ... P.
