Ubuntu 18.10 is much slower with Wayland than X.org
I have just recently installed Ubuntu 18.10 on my desktop. There is an issue which I can't understand: if I start a session with Wayland (choosing this while logging in), the system noticeably slower. I mean, even the mouse and typing are with a small (but noticeable) delay. If I run htop, I see that all the cores are constantly 40-50% busy, and the most CPU-hungry processes are gnome-shell.
System info
Output of inxi -SCG (v. 3.0.24-00) under Wayland:

I have a built-in Intel graphic card, the motherboard is ASRock Z390 Extreme4.
UPD
Under X11, there is another issue though. If I try to open the system settings, I am forcefully logged out. I created a separate question about this.
Disclaimer: I am not that advanced Ubuntu/Linux user.
Where can I look into the problem in my Ubuntu? What to start with?

Maybe you have an older version ofinxi(mine is 2.3.56-00 (2018-01-17)). Don't worry, just the output ofinxi -SCGshould be OK. Did you update your drivers withsudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall? You can compare both with some benchmark tool likegtkperfor pts (phoronix-test-suite package) and edit your question with the results.

Maybe you have an older version ofinxi(mine is 2.3.56-00 (2018-01-17)). Don't worry, just the output ofinxi -SCGshould be OK. Did you update your drivers withsudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall? You can compare both with some benchmark tool likegtkperfor pts (phoronix-test-suite package) and edit your question with the results.
